Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose has compared Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with Lady Macbeth and snapped all social ties with her in the wake of RG Kar rape and murder case.
Speaking in the backdrop of the State Government’s shoddy handling of the RG Kar rape and murder case the Governor on Thursday evening said “It is irony that the Health Minister happens to be the Home Minister. The Lady Macbeth of West Bengal holds the waters of Hooghly but cannot cleanse the tainted hands. The Home Minister is CM and CM is protesting instead of protecting. There is violence in the street, hospital, and cities.”
“As the Governor of this State I am hurt … I socially boycott her … and I will not share any public platform with the Chief Minister. I will take proactive steps against her for violating Constitutional provisions. My role as the Governor will be confined to the Constitutional obligations,” Bose said.
Reacting to Bose’s remarks TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said that as a Governor he could not make such statements. “A Governor has to follow some Constitutional protocol being the Constitutional head … here it seems that he is more of a political person than a Constitutional person,” Ghosh said.
