Days before marking two years in office, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose drew attention to the regional disparities between the state's north and south, attributing a disconnect between the government and its people to the economic backwardness in northern districts.
While refraining from directly critiquing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Bose stressed his concern over her administrative performance rather than her political role. He expressed satisfaction with his tenure, noting his observations on West Bengal's emphasis on art and culture.
Addressing governance issues, Bose highlighted constitutional violations such as the non-presentation of financial reports.
