Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has denied allegations of sexual harassment made by an employee of the Raj Bhavan, calling it an "engineered narrative". "If anybody wants some election benefits by maligning me, God bless them. But they cannot stop my fight against corruption and violence in Bengal," he said.
The Raj Bhavan, in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, said: "To the Raj Bhavan staff who expressed solidarity with Hon'ble Governor Dr. C. V. Ananda Bose against whom some derogatory narratives were circulated by two disgruntled employees as agents of political parties, Hon'ble Governor said".
"Truth shall triumph. I refuse to be cowed down by engineered narratives. If anybody wants some election benefits by maligning me, God Bless them. But they cannot stop my fight against corruption and violence in Bengal."

The allegations surfaced ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi is expected to reach Kolkata tonight and will be staying at the Raj Bhavan.
The allegations have come as a boon to the state's ruling Trinamool Congress, which had been smarting over the sex harassment allegations against its leader Sheikh Shahjahan at Sandeshkhali. The Governor was among the first to speak to the women from Sandeshkhali and made harsh remarks about the state government.
