“Disqualify MLAs”

Special Correspondent

PATNA: The Samajwadi Party has sought the disqualification of its two MLAs in Bihar for defying its orders to vote in favour of the UPA candidates in the Rajya Sabha polls and voting for the NDA.

Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has written to the Assembly Speaker Udai Narain Chaudhary to initiate action against Deonath Yadav and Gopal Prasad Agarwal. He has suspended both from the party and replaced Deonath Yadav with the former Minister Ashok Kumar Singh as the State unit president.
