The West Bengal assembly session began with the state governor's address, highlighting the new government's plans for law and order, industry revival, and central welfare schemes.
However, the session was marred by a deepening split within the Trinamool Congress (TMC), with rival factions occupying separate sections of the opposition benches.
State finance minister Swapan Dasgupta is set to table the budget for 2026-27 on June 22.
The governor accused the previous ruling party of allowing massive infiltration and extortion, which the new BJP government has cracked down on.
Rival TMC factions claimed victories, with each staking claim to the Leader of Opposition post.
TMC legislator Kunal Ghosh said the party's loyalists would get a separate room and dedicated speaking time in the assembly, following a meeting with CM Adhikari.
