West Bengal Governor Addresses Assembly, Pauses Speech Amid Political Tensions

West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose addressed the Assembly's budget session, emphasizing the state government's commitment to protecting democratic rights and promoting inclusive growth amid global challenges. He highlighted initiatives like new economic corridors and the upcoming Tajpur port. The Governor stopped reading his speech midway, laying it before the House, an act seen by opposition BJP as a symbolic rejection of the government's draft. Despite political slogans exchanged in the House, Bose and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee shared a courteous interaction during the session.
