Kolkata: The Raj Bhavan has denied media reports suggesting that West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose unveiled a statue of himself at his official residence on the occasion of completing two years in office.
In a statement on Monday, the governor's office clarified that the statue was a gift from a sculptor and was not installed on the premises of the Raj Bhavan. "The governor did not unveil any bust of himself at the Raj Bhavan nor did he install it anywhere on the premises. This is absolutely incorrect information," an official stated.
The official explained that several artists frequently present their works to the governor, including portraits and sculptures. In this instance, a sculptor created and presented the bust to Governor Bose. "This has unfortunately been misconstrued as the governor unveiling his own statue," the official added.
A two-member panel has been formed to investigate the source of the reports and submit its findings within two days. The official hinted that the reports might be an attempt by external elements to tarnish the governor's reputation.
Governor Bose, who succeeded Jagdeep Dhankhar on November 23, 2022, has had disagreements with the state government over issues such as the appointment of vice-chancellors for state universities and alleged surveillance of Raj Bhavan by the Kolkata Police.
This clarification comes amid speculation and criticism surrounding the alleged event.
