West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Sunday clarified his nuanced relationship with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, separating her roles into three distinct facets: individual, chief minister, and politician. While he respects her as a person and colleague, he admitted that their political ideologies sharply diverge.
