Six BJP MLAs, including Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, have been suspended by the West Bengal assembly Speaker for disrupting proceedings over recent violence in Sandeshkhali. Governor CV Ananda Bose cut short his trip to Kerala to visit the area and speak with local villagers who protested against Trinamool leaders. Protests have erupted in Kolkata and across the state over the arrest of a former CPI(M) MLA and a BJP leader.
