TMC MLAs Break Oath Impasse, Take Oath in Special Session

Two TMC MLAs, Rayat Hossain Sarkar and Sayantika Banerjee, will take their oath in a special assembly session, after a prolonged dispute over the venue. Governor CV Ananda Bose authorized Deputy Speaker Ashish Banerjee to swear them in, following days of deadlock and a dharna staged by the MLAs.

In a significant development, two newly-elected TMC MLAs, Rayat Hossain Sarkar and Sayantika Banerjee, are set to take their oath in a special assembly session this Friday. This follows days of a prolonged deadlock over the ceremony's venue.

Governor CV Ananda Bose made a sudden decision on Thursday night, authorizing Deputy Speaker Ashish Banerjee to administer their oaths. The two MLAs had initially declined to take the oath at Raj Bhavan, insisting on the Vidhan Sabha as the appropriate venue.

The stalemate was resolved after Speaker Biman Banerjee summoned the special session, emphasizing that the House's functioning isn't solely dependent on the governor. The MLAs' insistence had earlier led them to stage a dharna in the assembly complex.
