Bengal guv slams Speaker over oath to 2 TMC MLAs

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose wrote to President Droupadi Murmu on Friday, claiming that the assembly speaker administering the oath to two newly elected TMC MLAs was a "violation of the Constitution," according to a Raj Bhavan official. Bose took this step just hours after Biman Banerjee, the speaker, administered the oath to the two TMC legislators instead of the deputy speaker, who had been authorized by the governor for the task. Governor Bose had previously authorized assembly deputy speaker Ashish Banerjee to administer the oath to Sayantika Banerjee and Reyat Hossain Sarkar.
