Will socially boycott Mamata Banerjee, says Bengal governor  

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Thursday said he would not share any public platform with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in view of people's outcry over the RG Kar hospital impasse.

In a video message, Bose said he would socially boycott the chief minister.

"I will not be sharing any public platform with the chief minister. I will take proactive steps against her for violating constitutional provisions. My role as the Governor will be confined to the constitutional obligations," Bose said.

"I stand committed to the people of Bengal. I reiterated my commitment to the parents of the victim of RG Kar and also to those who are demonstrating for justice. In my assessment, the government has failed in its duties," he added.
