Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose refutes sexual harassment claim by Raj Bhavan employee

The Raj Bhavan, in a series of posts on social media, expressed solidarity with Governor Dr. C. V. Ananda Bose in response to derogatory narratives circulated by two disgruntled employees. These employees were identified as agents of political parties. The allegations arose just before a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is staying at the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata.

Police sources reported that a woman claiming to be a temporary staff member at Raj Bhavan accused Governor Bose of molesting her. She filed a complaint at a local police station, alleging multiple incidents of molestation on the pretext of a job. The allegations have been seen as advantageous to the ruling Trinamool Congress, which had been dealing with sex harassment allegations against its now suspended leader Sheikh Shahjahan.

This incident has caused shock and disappointment among political leaders and members of the public. The issue has drawn attention from various quarters. The Governor, who previously voiced support for women’s rights, is now facing severe criticism.

The matter has also stirred reactions from journalists and politicians. This incident has occurred amid a larger controversy involving sexual assault allegations against a Karnataka MP, leading to criticism of the BJP by the Opposition. The MP has been accused of raping multiple women, and the state leaders of the BJP have distanced themselves from the matter, resulting in the MP’s suspension.
