Expelled TMC MLA Ritabrata Banerjee Named Bengal Opposition Leader.

Описание: West Bengal politics has witnessed an unprecedented upheaval. Expelled Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Ritabrata Banerjee has successfully staked his claim as the new Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the state assembly. In a dramatic show of strength, Banerjee arrived at the Assembly with the backing of 59 out of the 80 elected TMC legislators, comfortably crossing the two-thirds threshold required under the anti-defection law to form a separate legislative bloc.
Speaker Rathindra Bose accepted the faction’s claim, officially handing over the keys to the LoP office. This mutiny follows the controversial "signgate" scandal, where rebel MLAs alleged that their signatures were forged on official party documents. While Ritabrata Banerjee has stated his bloc will act as a "constructive opposition" and urged Mamata Banerjee to serve as an advisor, this sudden split delivers a monumental challenge to the TMC high command.
