“wrong decision exceeding his constitutional authority”
So opined Shri PDT Achary self styled constitutional expert in relation to the decision of Hon’ble Speaker Vidhan Sabha Shri Rathindra Bose
Shri Achary could not comprehend 58 of 80 members constitute a majority amongst the
@AITC members in the House who merely approached the Hon’ble Speaker recommending Ritabrata Banerjee MLA as the LOP.
Instead Shri Achary got into mental gymnastics by bringing in real / unreal party; authority of the
@ECISVEEP to settle the faction issue (which till now has not surfaced). "The Speaker is not the authority to decide which faction represents the real party. That authority rests with the Election Commission. Until the issue of which faction is the real Trinamool Congress is settled by the Election Commission, the Speaker cannot entertain any such claim.”
He also contradicts himself "The legislature party is only a wing of the original political party,” and on the other hand “The chief of the original party, Mamata Banerjee, has the legal authority, and the Speaker must take cognisance if she raises objections to the actions of a section of the party's MLAs."
Shri Achary has forgotten when he was SG of
#LokSabha 4 Chiefs of
#LeftFront (none were MPs) submitted a letter to Honble
@rashtrapatibhvn withdrawing support from the Government, had to hurriedly submit another letter this time signed by the 4 Leaders of the respective Parliamentary Party
Shri
@PDTAchary1 since your retirement you have become a self declared ‘constitutional expert’. A rather bold repositioning from interpreting in
#LokSabha to interpreting the Indian Constitution
