The Trinamool Congress legislator told reporters that he was "requested" by the principal to take her seat during a recent visit to Santipur College.
Photographs of a TMC MLA sitting on the chair of a college principal in West Bengal's Nadia district triggered controversy Thursday, with opposition BJP accusing the ruling party of destroying the autonomy of state-aided educational institutions.
Braja Kishore Goswami, the Trinamool Congress legislator from Santipur assembly seat, told reporters that he was "requested" by the principal to take her seat during a recent visit to Santipur College.
Principal Dr Chandrima Bhattacharya was seen sitting on a sofa beside the MLA.
Mr Goswami claimed that someone clicked the pictures and spread those on social media to malign him.
