Press Trust of India Kolkata
The opposition Left Front led by CPI(M), staged a protest inside the House against the West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi's customary speech at the start of the budget session.

As soon as the National Anthem concluded after the Governor's speech highlighting the achievements of the state under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Left Front members marched towards the exit gate which Tripathi was to take escorted by Speaker Biman Banerjee and the chief minister.

The protesters shouted that there was no mention of the law and order situation in the speech nor the Bhangor and Ausgram incidents which saw killing of one person and torching of a police station respectively.
 

They collectively shouted that the entire speech was a bunch of lies scripted at the behest of the ruling party which chose to skip these incidents.

After Tripathi left, a disappointed Banerjee said "there is a limit to uncivilised behaviour".
