Describing the allegations as \u201cmalicious, baseless, and obnoxious,&#8221; Bose said he has cancelled all his engagements for the day and affirmed that the Governor\u2019s office is open for scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">\u201cAllegations made by the TMV MP are malicious, baseless, and obnoxious. I have cancelled all my engagements, and the office of the governor is open for scrutiny. I am committed to ensuring Bengal is violence-free when elections are held,&#8221; Bose said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>\u2018I Don\u2019t Want to Do Politics\u2026 Appropriate Action Will Be Taken\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">He added that he was seeking legal opinion against the TMC MP for making false claims. He emphasized that Raj Bhavan should remain neutral and out of controversy and called on Banerjee to apologise.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">&#8221; I am taking legal opinion against the TMC MP for making false allegations against the Raj Bhawan. TMC MP must apologize. I don\u2019t want to do politics\u2026 appropriate action will be taken,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The Governor underlined the importance of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls for free and fair elections, stating that while differences of opinion are welcome, violence must be voted out. He noted that the primary responsibility of the SIR lies with the Election Commission, but Raj Bhavan will \u201cintervene when necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cDifferences of opinion are welcome when the SIR exercise is taking place. The prime responsibility of SIR lies with the Election Commission\u2026. Raj Bhawan will intervene when required. The Constitution has checks and balances when parties try to create a hindrance in SIR exercise,&#8221; he remarked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><strong>Governor\u2019s Warning To TMC MP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The Governor\u2019s remarks came a day after he asked the MP to apologise or face action. Banerjee made the controversial statement on Saturday after Bose advocated for the ongoing SIR of the voters\u2019 roll in the state. \u201cIf people are confused, we should convince them that SIR is a new process which is required to clean up the election process and to ensure that free and fair elections take place,&#8221; Bose had said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><strong>What Kalyan Banerjee Had Said<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Soon after, Banerjee reacted to the Governor\u2019s support for the SIR and accused him of actively aiding criminals. \u201cFirst, tell the governor not to shelter the BJP\u2019s criminals in Raj Bhavan. He is keeping offenders there, giving them guns and bombs, and telling them to attack Trinamool workers. Let him stop this first,&#8221; the MP alleged.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">\u201cAs long as an incompetent governor like you remains, as long as a BJP-servant governor remains, you will never see anything good happening in West Bengal,&#8221; Banerjee added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Manisha Roy\" title=\"Manisha Roy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/01\/whatsapp-image-2025-01-18-at-18.11.52-2025-01-50eab38a6cff788db034d677dc6a903a.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/manisha-roy-28187.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Manisha Roy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Manisha Roy is a Senior Sub-Editor at News18.com&#8217;s general desk.
