Two newly elected Trinamool Congress MLAs continued their protest on Tuesday, insisting that they be sworn in at the assembly instead of the Raj Bhavan, as per Governor C V Ananda Bose's instructions.
Sayantika Bandyopadhyay of Baranagar and Rayat Hossain Sarkar of Bhagabangola, elected during the recent Lok Sabha by-polls, have refused the Governor's invitation to take oath at the Raj Bhavan.
Their ongoing dharna, now in its fourth day, commenced on June 27 and continued through June 28 and July 1, outside the statue of B R Ambedkar in the assembly complex. They demand that Governor Bose arrange for their oath-taking within the House, allowing them to fulfill their legislative responsibilities.
