Bengal Assembly Speaker suspends BJP's Suvendu Adhikari, revokes order moments later

The Speaker of the Bengal Assembly on Monday suspended the BJP MLA from Nandigram, Suvendu Adhikari, for abusing him. A few moments later, however, he revoked the order. The suspension order was withdrawn after TMC's Tapas Roy withdrew the petition against Suvendu Adhikari.

On Wednesday, Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose addressed the state assembly for the first time amid protests by BJP MLAs against "corruption" by the ruling TMC. BJP legislators shouted slogans against the Mamata Banerjee government and staged a walkout during the Governor's address.

Within minutes, after Bose began his speech in the House ahead of next week's state budget, BJP MLAs led by Suvendu Adhikari started shouting slogans against the state government. They also protested against the governor for reading out a speech prepared by the state government which had "no relation with reality".

"This is one of the most corrupt governments in the state. We staged a strike because there is no mention of corruption cases and arrests of TMC leaders in the speech," Adhikari said. TMC chief Nirmal Ghosh accused the BJP of trying to disrupt the proceedings of the Assembly.
