The four BJP MLAs had joined the Trinamool last year without giving up membership of the Bengal assembly and have not yet been disqualified under anti-defection law.
Four BJP MLAs who had joined the Trinamool alleged on Wednesday that Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari threatened them with tax raids for disrupting his speech in the assembly.
Mr Adhikari termed the allegation baseless.
BJP MLAs Krishna Kalyani (Raiganj), Tanmoy Ghosh (Bishnupur), Soumen Roy (Kaliaganj) and Biswajit Das (Bagda), who continue to occupy the opposition benches, repeatedly intervened when Mr Adhikari was speaking during the discussion on the Home Department's budget.
They criticised Mr Adhikari "for speaking lies and spreading canards against the state government".
