Chatterjee's stand that he was unwilling to vote with the BJP is "inappropriate" so long as he continued in the Speaker's office, Varkala Radhakrishnan, a CPI-M Lok Sabha member was quoted by Manorama News on Wednesday night.
Radhakrishnan, former speaker of the Kerala Assembly said, "though Chatterjee was sponsored to the Speaker's post by the Left and the UPA, he was elected to the post with the support of the BJP as well."
Sharing the views of his senior colleague, K Chandran Pillai, a Rajya Sabha member from Kerala said, Chatterjee should not have created a situation, dragging the Speaker's office into controversy.
"The Speaker should have taken an appropriate decision at the right time. This unfortunate situation where his office is being dragged into a controversy should have been avoided," Pillai said.
