Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: RN Ravi. RN Ravi, the Tamil Nadu Governor, has been appointed as the new Governor of West Bengal. His appointment follows the sudden resignation of CV Ananda Bose, who served as West Bengal Governor since 2022. The leadership change occurs just months before the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. Ravindra Narayan Ravi is a retired IPS officer from the 1976 batch of the Kerala cadre. Ravi served in the CBI and Intelligence Bureau (IB) during his career in national security. In 2014, he was appointed Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) under the Prime Minister’s Office. The JIC is responsible for analyzing intelligence inputs for national security decision-making. RN Ravi served as Deputy National Security Advisor in 2018, handling sensitive internal security issues. Ravi entered constitutional office as Governor of Nagaland in 2019 and held additional charge of Meghalaya. He was later appointed Governor of Tamil Nadu, where he had frequent disagreements with the DMK-led state government under CM MK Stalin. In 2023, he briefly announced the dismissal of state minister V Senthil Balaji, later withdrawn the same day. The Governor of a state is appointed by the President of India under Article 155 of the Constitution. Governors can hold additional charge of multiple states when required.
