The Calcutta High Court on Thursday declined to grant interim relief to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in its challenge against West Bengal Assembly Speaker Rathindra Nath Bose’s decision recognising expelled party leader Ritabrata Banerjee as the Leader of the Opposition (LoP).
A political controversy erupted in West Bengal's Raniganj after Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Soumitra Banerjee was allegedly targeted by a group of protesters during a public event. Visuals from the scene showed demonstrators surrounding the leader as tensions escalated.
