Mamata calls Modi-Shah-BJP 'chor' amid ruckus in Assembly, multiple BJP MLAs including chief whip suspended and injured

Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee raised the "vote chor" slogans in the assembly while several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs including chief whip Shankar Ghosh were dragged out of the House during a fierce faceoff between the ruling party and primary opposition camp on Wednesday.

Ghosh, Mihir Goswami, Agnimitra Paul, Ashok Dinda and Bankim Ghosh were suspended by Speaker Biman Banerjee.

While Marshall dragged the BJP chief whip out of the House, he fainted and was rushed to hospital.

The faceoff between the two camps began as the BJP MLAs raised slogans when the Chief Minister started speaking in the House to debate a motion that was brought to condemn the alleged harassment of Bengali migrants in the BJP-ruled states.

West Bengal Leader of Opposition and BJP strongman Suvendu Adhikari was already suspended by the Speaker on September 2.

As the BJP MLAs raised slogans, Mamata lost her cool and shouted, "Modi, Amit Shah and BJP are the biggest thieves of the country. BJP should be wiped out."

"People giving slogans are all thieves, the biggest thieves. They all have been with the TMC and jumped ship for corruption and to evade the probe agencies," Mamata added calling the saffron camp "anti-Bengali".

The Trinamool Congress supremo, who called Modi "chor" a number of times, even claimed the NDA government at the Centre won't last long.

"BJP won't last in power in the Centre. People of Bengal will take revenge in the coming days. I am not being allowed to speak which is completely unconstitutional," the CM, who was recurrently interrupted, thundered.

Mamata faced unprecedented opposition from BJP, says Suvendu Adhikari

Adhikari, who expressed confidence that the TMC regime would end in the next year's election, said 60 odd MLAs offered an unprecedented opposition to Mamata in his absence.

"They (ruling party) thought she would have a free pass by just suspending me but we didn't let that happen, rather she faced an unprecedented opposition. Hats off to the team BJP West Bengal," Adhikari said and added, "The way Mamata Banerjee held BJP accountable for the Partition of India to appease the minorities and illegal immigrants is condemnable."

Adhikari has appealed to the Modi community to lodge an FIR against the Chief Minister for calling "Modi chor".

"In a bid to attack the Prime Minister, she (Mamata Banerjee) called Modi chor... I would appeal to the Modi community to lodge an FIR against her," Adhikari said.
