Tensions erupted in the West Bengal Assembly as BJP legislators staged a dramatic walkout after Speaker Biman Banerjee rejected their adjournment motions concerning violence in Murshidabad and Maheshtala. The opposition accused the TMC government of failing to maintain law and order, leading to heated exchanges in the House.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari moved an adjournment motion on Murshidabad violence, while BJP MLA Puna Bhengra raised concerns over Maheshtala clashes.
- Speaker Biman Banerjee rejected both motions, citing that the Murshidabad matter was subjudice and the Maheshtala clashes were not suitable for immediate discussion.
- BJP MLAs protested inside the Assembly, waving saffron flags and chanting slogans against the TMC government, calling it “anti-Hindu”.
- State ministers Chandrima Bhattacharya and Sashi Panja condemned the BJP’s actions, labeling them “inappropriate and unparliamentary”.

📢 Suvendu Adhikari’s Statement:
“The government is shielding criminals and suppressing discussions on violence. We will not remain silent.”
⚠️ Strategic Impact:
