Uttarakhand Assembly Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal on Thursday June 09,2016 disqualified
BJP's Bhimlal Arya and Congress' Rekha Arya from the House under the
anti-defection law for voting against their parties during the floor
test held on May 10.
Both the legislators have been disqualified under the anti-defection law for going against the whip issued by their parties and cross voting during the Supreme Court-monitored floor test
"There was enough evidence against them to prove that they went against the whips of their parties and action was taken on that basis," he said.
This is the second such action by the Speaker who had on March 27 disqualified nine Congress legislators who had revolted against Chief Minister Harish Rawat and joined hands with BJP.
There are now 60 legislators in the 71-seat legislature. Violating party whip, BJP Ghansali legislator Bhimlal Arya had voted in favour of the Harish Rawat government while Congress legislator from Someshwar Rekha Arya had voted in favour of BJP during the confidence vote.
Both the parties had petitioned the speaker through their chief whips in the Assembly demanding action against the legislators under the anti-defection law.
