Suvendu Adhikari, BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition (LoP) and three other legislators of his party were suspended for 30 days by the Speaker Biman Bandyopadhyay on Monday from the ongoing Budget session in the state Assembly because of their alleged unruly behaviour in the House.

The three other suspended MLAs are Agnimitra Pal, Bankim Ghosh and Biswanath Karak. All of the four legislators of the saffron party were suspended till the end of this session in the assembly or for 30 days, whichever is earlier, after they came down to the well of the House, tore up business papers and threw those away.

In protest against the suspension, the LoP while speaking to reporters said that he would deliver his speech outside the gate of the House on Tuesday when the chief minister Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to address the Assembly to counter the Governor C V Ananda Bose's opening speech before the budget session began last week. Usually, LoP delivers his speech the same day before the chief minister addresses the House to counter the Governor's opening speech.
