Expelled TMC leader Ritabrata Banerjee was on Wednesday appointed Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly. He claimed the support of 58 out of 80 TMC MLAs and said two more legislators could join his camp soon. Banerjee said the Speaker had accepted the revised composition of the legislature party and approved his appointment. “We would request Mamata Banerjee to play the role of the chief adviser of the legislative party,” he said. The development comes amid a growing rift within the TMC. The party recently expelled Banerjee and another MLA over internal disputes.
