‘Lady Macbeth of Bengal’: Governor CV Ananda Bose to ‘socially boycott’ Mamata Banerjee | India News – Times of India
West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Thursday said he will socially boycott Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and will not appear with her at public events amid public outrage over the RG Kar Hospital standoff.
“I will not share any public platform with the Prime Minister. I will take proactive steps against her for violating the constitutional provisions. My role as Governor will be limited to the constitutional obligations. I stand with the people of Bengal. I have reiterated my commitment to the parents of the RG Kar victim and also to those protesting for justice. In my opinion, the government has failed in its duties,” Bose said.
Bose also criticised Chief Minister Banerjee over the prevailing law and order situation in West Bengal and even called her “Lady Macbeth of Bengal”.
Furthermore, Governor Bose expressed disappointment over the state government’s failure to take action on his recommendation to take action against Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal. He expressed serious concerns about the manner in which Commissioner Goyal handled the case, suggesting that his actions were highly questionable and could be classified as a form of “criminal activity” that warrants legal consequences.
Mamata Banerjee offers to resign
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday offered to resign as the standoff with protesting junior doctors over the rape and murder case of a Kolkata doctor continues.
“For the sake of the people, I am ready to resign. I am not worried about the post. I want justice, I am only worried about achieving justice,” CM Mamata Banerjee said while addressing the media on the standoff with the doctors.
“I also apologise to the people of Bengal who expected the standoff to end today,” the CM said.
“27 people have died, 7 lakh patients are suffering because junior doctors have gone on strike. I have tried thrice to hold talks. We have been waiting for over two hours to meet our fellow doctors who were invited here. We wrote to them and they wrote back to assure us that they will come… Only after we got their confirmation, we invited them, but it has been two hours and we have not received any word from them. We asked them to come with an open mind and discuss every problem. Solutions can be found only through dialogues,” Banerjee said after a meeting with the protesting doctor’s delegation was called off at the last minute due to the demand for a live telecast.
