Tejashwi Yadav Seeks Disqualification of Two Independent MLCs for Joining BJP Post-Election
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has requested the disqualification of Bihar MLCs Bansidhar Brajwasi and Rahul Raj after they joined the BJP less than a week post-election as independents. Citing the anti-defection law under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, Yadav argued their switch violates legal provisions and called on the Legislative Council Chairman to act. The BJP's acceptance of the members has drawn criticism from Yadav, who accused the party of undermining constitutional norms.
