NewDelhi: India’s Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has expressed his desire to address in the West Bengal Assembly, which has set political circles abuzz with speculation. Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjaee was apprised of this special address from the Vice President’s office by his secretary, Sunil Gupta. Yet, why this abrupt transition was made is not known.
In response to the request, Speaker Biman Banerjee said the Assembly is now in session for the budget session. The Vice President will address the joint house sometime during this session. However, questions were raised on Wednesday about why the Vice President suddenly found time to speak in the West Bengal Assembly before the announcement.
Political experts are speculating on plenty of reasons behind this unprecedented appeal. This proposal comes amidst several ongoing disputes between the state and central governments. It will be worth watching whether the Vice President’s appeal has political import.
To add more fuel to the fire speculation, Vice President Dhankhar was the governor of West Bengal. Some experts suggest that creating a specific message through the state assembly may be a more symbolic action.
There is no official statement or obvious reason behind this development, but it is taken as politically significant. Attention will be paid to the issues mentioned by the Vice President in the special session and the real intentions behind this move. This exchange between the state government and the Assembly could play a more significant role in the coming days with new political developments surrounding West Bengal.”
