‘Where are your 25 MLAs?,’ TMC MP Banerjee asks BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari

Hindustan Times  

Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Banerjee on Monday asked the leader of opposition in the West Bengal legislative assembly to focus on the missing 25 MLAs from his own party before thinking about introducing an anti-defection law. If the opposition leader from the BJP wants to bring a new rule, he can ask the central government since they are in power,” Banerjee was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Earlier in the day, 50 MLAs of the BJP met West Bengal governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and submitted a memorandum over the incidents of violence following the West Bengal elections. Speculations arose after the Trinamool Congress asked the BJP about the rest of the 24 MLAs who were not present at Adhikari’s meeting with the Bengal governor.
