12 BJP MLAs Suspended From Maharashtra Assembly For Abusing Speaker

Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis, however, insisted that these were “false allegations”.

Chaos engulfed the very first day of the monsoon session of Maharashtra assembly over the issue of OBC reservation, resulting in suspension of 12 BJP MLAs for a year for abusing and manhandling the Speaker-in-chair. Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis, however, insisted that these were “false allegations”.

“These are false allegations. A story is being created… no one from the BJP abused”, Mr Fadnavis told the media. “For OBC (Other backward Castes) reservations, we are ready to sacrifice more than 12 MLAs,” he added.

The MLAs who were suspended are Parag Alavani, Ram Satpute, Sanjay Kute, Ashish Shelar, Abhimanyu Pawar, Girish Mahajan, Atul Bhatkalkar, Shirish Pimple, Jaykumar Rawal, Yogesh Sagar, Narayan Kuche, and Kirtikumar Bagadia.

“This is a Talibani government,” said Ashish Shelar, who’s amongst the suspended MLAs.
