On the Trinamool MLAs not letting the Governor leave initially, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, "Our MLAs got involved as the Governor was leaving without reading his speech"
The West Bengal assembly saw unruly scenes on the first day of the Budget session as BJP members protested in the well of the house over alleged post-poll violence in the recently held local body elections.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked the Governor to deliver his speech, but amid protests the Governor could not read his speech and was about to leave when Trinamool Congress MLAs gathered near his seat and prevented him from leaving the house without reading the address.
He finally tabled it in the assembly after reading the first and the last lines.
Ms Banerjee called the development "unprecedented" and said it was a "planned attempt" to create a constitutional crisis.
