Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, Kolkata, 22nd July, 2026: Trinamool Congress (TMC) legislator Kunal Ghosh on Wednesday criticised the party's breakaway dissident MLAs for omitting his name from the list of speakers in the West Bengal Assembly, alleging that they were "puppets" acting under the direction and control of the government.
Ghosh made the remarks after he was marshalled out of the House and subsequently suspended for the remainder of the day following a ruckus over his demand to participate in the debate on the Home Department's budget.
The Beleghata MLA questioned Opposition Chief Whip Akhruzzaman, a leader of the Ritabrata Banerjee-led rebel faction of the TMC, over why he had not been allowed to take part in the discussion.
