Bengal Governor to lead search operation at Raj Bhavan for “arms” post TMC MP's allegations
West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose will lead a team of security personnel, who would carry out a search operation at the Raj Bhavan on Monday (November 17, 2025) in the wake of allegations by a TMC MP that arms and ammunition were stacked within its premises, an official said.
Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee had on Saturday (November 15, 2025) accused Mr. Bose of "sheltering BJP criminals" inside the Raj Bhavan and "arming them with bombs and guns".
"The entire Raj Bhavan will be searched by a joint team of the Kolkata Police and central forces deputed here on Monday to find out whether there are arms and ammunition stacked inside. The Governor will be leading the search operation," the official told PTI.
Members of the civil society and journalists will be allowed to accompany Mr. Bose during the exercise, he said.
The TMC MP had made the allegations on Saturday, hours after Mr. Bose said that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was essential to "clean up the election process".
Mr. Bose on Sunday (November 16, 2025) said he sought legal opinion over Mr. Banerjee's allegations, prompting the lawmaker to say he is ready for a battle in court and that he cannot be intimidated.
