Chaos in West Bengal Assembly: BJP Protests Speaker's Decision

The West Bengal Assembly saw turmoil as BJP MLAs protested the Speaker's actions, leading to suspensions and a mass walkout. The protests began over a debate about the West Bengal Public Service Commission's role and escalated when the Speaker cut off a BJP MLA's microphone, prompting further chaos.

The West Bengal Assembly turned chaotic on Monday when opposition BJP MLAs protested Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay's decision to cut off a colleague's microphone. This led to the suspension of BJP legislator Dipak Barman and the eviction of two others from the House.

Tensions escalated after BJP MLA Hiran Chatterjee questioned the role of the West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC), sparking controversy during a budget debate. Despite warnings, Chatterjee insisted on his right to continue, resulting in his microphone being turned off.

Following the Speaker's actions, BJP MLAs accused him of suppressing opposition voices, leading to a walkout. In contrast, TMC legislators defended the Speaker, arguing his actions were necessary for maintaining order.
