BJP MLAs who recently joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Wednesday alleged that Leader of Opposition (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari had threatened them with tax raids during the Assembly proceedings.
The incident occurred when the discussion on the Budget was on. Among the MLAs who made the allegation were Krishna Kalyani from Raiganj constituency, Tanmoy Ghosh from Bishnupur, Soumen Roy from Kaliaganj and Biswajit Das from the Bagda constituency. All of them won on BJP ticket in May 2021, but later defected to the TMC.
While the LoP was speaking in the House during the day, these MLAs protested. The MLA from Raiganj also brought this to the issue to the notice of Speaker Biman Banerjee.
