The Rajasthan Assembly ended the suspension of three Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs by a voice vote on a suo motu motion moved by the ruling Congress in the House. The suspension of the three MLAs -- Gyandeo Ahuja, Bhawani Singh Rajawat and Hemsingh Bhadana -- by the Speaker on July 28, 2009 for their unruly behaviour and conduct was revoked with immediate effect on Thursday.
Rajawat said if the charges against Bainsala, Roop Singh and others are found baseless, government might withdraw the cases against them. He said the FIR was filed against the Gujjar leaders as a matter of routine.
They have been expelled for their decision to contest elections against party candidates.
With the announcement of list of candidates for the December 1 assembly elections, rebellion is out in the open among Bharatiya Janata Party rank and file in Rajasthan's Hadoti region, once a stronghold of the opposition party.
The fact that Home Minister Amit Shah recently met Raje was a marker that Delhi will be compelled to take her more seriously than it would care to. Like B S Yediyurappa, she's a regional chieftain who can't be discarded at will, reports Radhika Ramaseshan.
Families of the 40 CRPF jawans, who were martyred in the dastardly terror attacks in Pulwama, have not yet been able to comprehend the huge void left behind.
