PORVORIM: Goa Legislative Assembly Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar today informed that the hearing in the disqualification petition against 8 MLAs will begin in the next 15 days.
“So far, we have received a total of two disqualification petitions against 8 MLAs who joined the BJP,” said Tawadkar.
He further said that one petition filed by Goa Congress President Amit Patkar is currently pending with him.
“The hearing in the disqualification petition against 8 MLAs will begin in the next 15 days,” he informed.
Sunday, the Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly’s office received two disqualification petitions against eight now-former Congress MLAs, who split the party’s legislative unit and merged it into the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
According to the disqualification petition filed by Chodankar, the merger of the eight legislators into the BJP was invalid.
Chodankar has also said that the legislators should be disqualified as MLAs of the state assembly under Article 191 (2) of the Constitution of India read with para 2 (1) (a) of the tenth schedule of the Constitution of India.
