Kolkata, 18/4:  Acting on the advice of the Election Commission of India (ECI), West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose on Thursday called off his proposed tour to Cooch Behar, during which he intended to ‘oversee’ the polling process.

He, however, alleged that an attempt was being made to ‘politicise the Governor’s office’, while asserting he would not allow anyone to use him as a ‘pawn on the political chess board’.
