Conscious decision to resign, will remain proud voter of WB: Ex-Governor Ananda Bose

On Sunday, March 8, 2026, West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose said he took a conscious decision to resign and tendered his resignation to President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday.
In a March 5 resignation letter, Bose thanked President Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for their guidance during his tenure.
Lok Bhavan said Bose will return to Kerala to work towards Viksit Bharat under national leadership, while he told reporters in Kolkata he would return to Bengal to cast his vote.
Rashtrapati Bhavan announced a broader reshuffle ahead of Rajya Sabha elections, appointing RN Ravi as incoming Governor of West Bengal; appointments take effect once newly appointed Governors and Lieutenant Governors assume charge.
Bose framed the move as knowing when to end the game and avoided a direct reply on President Droupadi Murmu's expressed angst over alleged protocol violations and tribal deprivation while praising her experience and dignity.
