West Bengal Assembly chaos sparked by BJP MLA mic shutdown, leading to protests, MLA suspensions, and walkouts under Speaker's alleged bias.

BJP Clash with Speaker in West Bengal Assembly

The West Bengal Assembly saw chaos as BJP MLAs clashed with the Speaker over mic shutdowns and suspensions, leading to a dramatic walkout amidst protests.

Chaos in West Bengal Assembly: BJP-protests and speaker clash

Chaos erupted in the West Bengal Assembly over BJP MLA microphone shutdown. Disruptions by BJP MLAs led to suspensions and walkouts as Speaker accused of bias.

The West Bengal Assembly witnessed chaos on Monday as opposition BJP MLAs protested the Speaker's decision to switch off the microphone of one of their colleagues, prompting Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay to suspend BJP MLA Dipak Barman for the rest of the session and order marshals to evict two saffron party legislators from the House.
The BJP MLAs later staged a walkout in protest against the "biased approach" of the Speaker.
The developments began when BJP MLA Hiran Chatterjee, during the discussion on the budget, raised concerns about the functioning of the West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC).
He questioned why the commission had not received a single public complaint since 2011 when the Trinamool Congress government came to power in the state.
Mr Chatterjee further alleged that the commission did not have the statutory authority to handle complaints, citing a recent note from the chief secretary to the chief minister.
He wondered about the relevance of the commission in such circumstances.
As the BJP legislator continued, Speaker Bandopadhyay reminded him that his comments were unrelated to the budget debate and asked him to stop.
Mr Chatterjee, however, insisted on his right to speak on behalf of the people, leading to a heated exchange of words between the two.
The Speaker reminded him of his authority and attempted to restrict his speech, but as Mr Chatterjee continued speaking, Bandopadhyay switched off his microphone, triggering an outcry from BJP MLAs who accused him of suppressing opposition voices.
The Speaker then ordered the expunging of Mr Chatterjee's comments, stating that they violated the legislative decorum.
In response, BJP MLAs Shankar Ghosh and Manoj Oraon began shouting slogans.
Despite repeated warnings from the Speaker, they continued their protest, which led to marshalls being called to remove them from the House.
As the disruption continued, BJP MLAs, led by Chief Whip Shankar Ghosh, tore up and threw papers in the House in protest.
In response, Speaker Bandopadhyay announced the suspension of MLA Dipak Barman for the remainder of the session.
The entire BJP contingent then staged a walkout in protest against what they called the "biased" actions of the Speaker.
Later, Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari condemned the Speaker's actions, accusing him of "goondaism" and charging the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) with stifling dissent.
Adhikari claimed the marshals had acted under the influence of the TMC.
In contrast, TMC legislators defended the Speaker's decision, stating that the BJP was trying to disrupt the legislative proceedings.
They argued that the Speaker's actions were necessary to maintain order and discipline in the House.
TMC lawmaker Chandrima Bhattacharya, while responding later, criticized the BJP for raising questions about the effectiveness of state welfare schemes like Kanyashree and the budget allocation but leaving the House when the minister rose to respond.
She accused the BJP of trying to create unnecessary disruptions rather than engage in constructive dialogue.
The session concluded with the BJP lawmakers walking out, leaving the Speaker to declare that the behaviour of the opposition party was unbecoming of a democratic institution.

Centre asks Bengal to submit report on post-poll violence

The Centre on Monday sought a report from the West Bengal government on post-poll violence targeting opposition workers in the state.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged her supporters to maintain peace and asked them not to fall prey to provocations.&nbsp;

The ruling Trinamool Congress is set to outperform its 2016 result with the regional party candidates leading in over 200 of the 292 seats. The BJP which was pitted as a fierce competitor will end up below the three figure mark.
Belying expectations of a tight contest, the TMC candidates are galloping to victory, and, if the current trends hold, the party will easily form its third successive government in the state.
Despite an opposition offensive over the contentious CAA and NRC, the BJP in Assam is headed for a clear majority with its candidates leading in over 75 seats.
After a ten year stint in the opposition, DMK in Tamil Nadu on Sunday was set for a comeback to the ruling saddle.
While no visible sweep was seen in favour of the Stalin-led DMK, it was ahead and above majority figure of 118 on its own in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly, giving the Opposition front a comfortable leeway.
A key pointer is that the AIADMK continued as a force to be reckoned with, despite the burden of a 10-year anti-incumbency.
In Kerala, the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front is on course to retain power for the first time in Kerala in four decades as it was leading in over 90 of the 140 assembly seats as counting is still in progress.
Then AINRC-led NDA is on course to victory in Puducherry.
