Political Turmoil in West Bengal: BJP Leaders Expelled Amidst Accusations of TMC Bias

In a significant political development, four BJP leaders have been expelled from the West Bengal Assembly, igniting controversy and allegations of bias. Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari accused the Assembly Speaker of acting in favor of the TMC, suggesting political motives related to ticket ambitions.

Amid heightened tensions, the suspension of BJP MLAs Dipak Burman, Shankar Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul, and Manoj Oraon by Speaker Biman Banerjee was met with fierce protests. The MLAs were reprimanded following disruptions concerning expunged remarks in the legislative session, leading to their expulsion.

Accusations of silencing dissent have emerged, with visuals showing expelled BJP leaders protesting at the Assembly's entrance. BJP claims of unfair treatment by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's government have intensified, with references to 'authoritarian panic'. The political climate remains charged, as opposition voices continue to challenge the ruling party's methods.
