Babul Supriyo's wait to take oath as Ballygunge MLA ends, Governer's decision prevails

Babul Supriyo Ballygunge Jagdeep Dhankar Bharatiya Janata Party TMC

After Governor Jagdeep Dhankar insisted that he would not change his decision on who would administer the oath to Babul Supriyo who quit his job as a central Minister and the BJP party to join the TMC, it has been decided the singer-turned politician who was last month elected MLA from the Ballygunge Assembly constituency will be sworn in by West Bengal Assembly Deputy Speaker Asish Banerjee on Wednesday.

Usually the Speaker is nominated by the Governor to swear in a new member of the Assembly. However, Mr. Dhankar had decided to name the deputy speaker for the job and despite repeated pleas by Mr. Surpiyo seeking permission for the Speaker to administer the oath to him, the Governor had decided to stick to his decision.

Though Mr. Supriyo was elected on April 16, confusion consequently prevailed over his oath-taking ceremony.
