Trinamul Lists 50 MLAs For Ignoring Party Whips

A decision on them will be taken by the party leadership only after chief minister Mamata Banerjee returns to Kolkata from her UK trip on Friday night.

Party insiders said that sorting has been done among the 50 party legislators—those who were absent during the proceedings of the House on 20 March without prior intimation or justifiable reasons against those who remained absent after proper intimation or justifiable reasons.

The sorting procedure, party insiders said, has been completed after getting the details from the office of the Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay about those legislators who gave prior intimation about their absence citing justifiable reasons.
