BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh moves privilege motion against TMC's Kunal Ghosh for 'misconduct' in Assembly
BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh has filed a privilege motion against TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh in the West Bengal Assembly. The motion alleges misconduct and disrespect toward the Speaker during budget discussions.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political volatility and legislative friction within the West Bengal state government.
BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh on Friday (July 24, 2026), moved a privilege motion against Trinamool Congress MLA Kunal Ghosh in the West Bengal Assembly, alleging that he misbehaved during the Budget discussion and showed disregard for the Speaker's authority.
Speaker Rathindra Bose said he would examine the matter before taking a decision, while Kunal Ghosh asserted that he did not intend to disrespect the Chair and expressed regret if his conduct was perceived otherwise.
TMC MLAs Kunal Ghosh and Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay on Thursday (July 23, 2026), entered the Well of the West Bengal Assembly to protest the Speaker's description of the unruly incident involving Mr. Ghosh's expulsion on July 22 as a ‘scandalous chapter’ in the history of the House.
Mr. Ghosh was removed from the House for a day on Wednesday (July 22, 2026), following a ruckus during the debate on the Home Department's Budget.
