West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose has accused the state government of being irregular in supplying information he requests regarding administrative matters.

Addressing the press at Raj Bhavan, Bose cited Article 167 of the Constitution as a key tool for governors, stating it requires the chief minister to furnish administrative reports to the governor. Bose expressed dissatisfaction over the limited responses he's received, noting that attempts to assert authority occasionally result in obtaining some reports.
