On May 22, 2023, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders staged a protest against West Bengal Assembly Speaker Rathindra Bose for not officially recognizing Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the Leader of Opposition and failing to allot him an official room. TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh stated that the Speaker's office had been unresponsive and that the room designated for the Leader of Opposition was still not ready, despite the Speaker and Chief Minister's offices being prepared. The TMC criticized the Speaker for demanding a 'resolution book' for recognition, arguing that historically, support from around thirty members sufficed for such acknowledgment. They claim this situation undermines democratic norms and the dignity of the Opposition. In other developments, the TMC appointed Asima Patra and Nayana Bandyopadhyay as Deputy Leaders of Opposition and Firhad Hakim as Chief Whip. This unrest follows the BJP's recent electoral victory in West Bengal, where they secured a significant majority in the Assembly elections, marking a notable shift in the political landscape.
