TMC vs BJP again as West Bengal Assembly passes resolution against 'misuse of central agencies'

The Opposition BJP staged a walkout from the House, claiming that presence of its members in the Assembly when the motion was being read out would "tantamount to supporting corruption cases".

TMC vs BJP again as West Bengal Assembly passes resolution against 'misuse of central agencies'

In a fresh flashpoint between the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal and the BJP government at the Centre, the Bengal Assembly on 13 March 2023 passed a motion against "misuse of central agencies".

The TMC accused the Central government of targeting party leaders via investigation agencies.

The Opposition BJP staged a walkout from the House, claiming that presence of its members in the Assembly when the motion was being read out would "tantamount to supporting corruption cases".

The motion was introduced by senior TMC MLA Tapas Roy, under Rule 185 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly.

Referring to Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari’s assertion that minister Partha Bhowmik will be put behind bars within a month, Roy said the country, since 2014, has been witnessing rampant misuse of central agencies for harassing political leaders.

Bhowmik had moved a privilege motion against Adhikari.

"We have seen how the leader of opposition threatened the members of the state's ruling party, including ministers, with dire consequences," Roy said.
