Rebel TMC MLA Ritabrata to remain West Bengal LoP: HC

Rebel TMC MLA Ritabrata Banerjee will continue as West Bengal's Leader of Opposition (LoP), Calcutta High Court said. It rejected a plea challenging the Speaker's decision to recognise Ritabrata as LoP after 58 of 80 MLAs supported him. The High Court considered the Speaker's allegations that documents showing unanimous support for Mamata Banerjee's choice of Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay were forged.
