BJP legislators staged a dramatic walkout from the West Bengal Assembly on Friday during the heated debate over the Netaji Subhas University of Sports and Entrepreneurship Bill, 2025. The uproar erupted following comments from BJP Chief Whip Shankar Ghosh and ensuing interruptions from TMC representatives.
The situation escalated when Education Minister Bratya Basu presented the bill. Minister Babul Supriyo's interruption led to over 100 TMC legislators rising in protest, challenging the BJP's right to speak after previous walkouts during crucial replies by TMC ministers. Despite Speaker Biman Banerjee's attempts to maintain order, the tension was palpable.
The discord highlighted underlying tensions within the Assembly, with Ghosh accusing the ruling TMC of stifling opposition voices. "This move illustrates the intolerance of the TMC," Ghosh stated, following the contentious walkout involving around 20 BJP MLAs.
