Kolkata: A section of senior TMC leaders, claiming that they derive their authority from party chief Mamata Banerjee, rejected the move made by the rebel party MLAs who met West Bengal Assembly Speaker Rathindra Bose on Wednesday and submitted letters of support from 58 legislators endorsing expelled party leader Ritabrata Banerjee as the Leader of Opposition.
The development came after a group of dissident TMC legislators met Bose and submitted letters of support from 58 MLAs backing Ritabrata Banerjee for the post of LoP.
