What is the plea filed by the Sharad Pawar camp against the Speaker's 'inaction' on disqualification proceedings
The Sharad Pawar camp has filed a plea against the Speaker's 'inaction' on disqualification proceedings of breakaway NCP MLAs. Examine the details of the plea and its significance.
- The plea filed by the Sharad Pawar camp alleges that the Speaker has not taken any action on the disqualification proceedings of breakaway NCP MLAs who have defected to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
- The camp argues that the Speaker's inaction is in violation of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, which deals with anti-defection laws.
- According to the plea, the defected MLAs should face disqualification as they have voluntarily given up their membership of the NCP and have joined another political party.
- The significance of this plea lies in its potential impact on the stability of the government. If the defected MLAs are disqualified, the government's majority may be reduced, leading to a political upheaval in the state.
- This plea also highlights the ongoing power struggle within the NCP and the attempts to maintain party unity amidst defections.
- The outcome of this plea and the subsequent disqualification proceedings will have far-reaching political consequences for both the NCP and the ruling government in Maharashtra.
