Bihar Congress president Akhilesh Prasad Singh on Wednesday met Assembly Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav seeking the disqualification of MLAs who have defected from the party.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal has also said that it would seek disqualification of those who had defected.
On February 27, Congress legislators Murari Prasad Gautam and Siddharth Saurabh, along with RJD MLA Sangita Kumari, had switched sides to sit with the NDA block inside the State Assembly. Earlier, when the newly formed NDA government was seeking the trust vote on February 12, three RJD MLAs — Chetan Anand, Neelam Devi and Prahlad Yadav — had switched sides to vote in favour of the NDA and sat in the Treasury Benches.
