Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
The tussle over oath in West Bengal is far from over as a miffed West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Friday wrote to President Droupadi Murmu, dubbing that Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee administering oath to two newly elected TMC MLAs was a "violation of the Constitution".
He wrote the letter to the President, hours after the Speaker Biman Banerjee administered the oath to two TMC legislators, instead of the Deputy Speaker who was authorized by Anada Bose for the job.
After a month-long impasse between the Raj Bhawan and the state assembly, two TMC MLAs - Rayat Hossain Sarkar from Bhagwangola in Murshidabad district and Sayantika Banerjee from Baranagar on the northern outskirts of Kolkata - took oath during a special session of the state assembly.
