On Monday this week, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose was greeted with black flags when he arrived to North Bengal University (NBU) in Siliguri. Trinamool Chhatra Parishad members hoisted flags and shouted slogans, news agency ANI reported. According to reports, the Governor met with NBU's Vice-Chancellor today and talked for almost an hour at the executive meeting. Following the meeting, the Governor spoke to the media, announcing that the State Election Commissioner had been chosen to decide the number of phases for the state's upcoming Panchayat election.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) General Secretary Kumar Ghosh came down heavily on West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose, saying that he is acting "like a BJP agent." Speaking with media, Ghosh stated: "If Governor CV Ananda Bose continues to act like a BJP agent, he will have to face black fags and slogans like 'Ananda Bose go back'."

Hitting out at the state government, West Bengal BJP spokesperson Rahul Sinha stated: "Showing black flags to the Governor will hurt the state's image. CM Mamata Banerjee wants a 'sleeping governor'. The Governor isn't afraid of Mamata Banerjee & her party."
