Tejashwi Yadav Calls for Disqualification of Two Independent MLCs Who Joined BJP Post Elections

The Bihar Legislative Council has seen a controversial move as two independent members reportedly joined the Bharatiya Janata Party after the recent elections. Tejashwi Yadav, the deputy chief minister and a prominent RJD leader, has formally requested the council to disqualify these members on the grounds of anti‑party defection. The request cites the Anti‑Defection Law, which penalises legislators who switch parties after being elected. If the disqualification proceeds, it would reduce the BJP’s strength in the council and could shift the balance of power. The RJD has urged the council to act swiftly to uphold the integrity of the electoral mandate.
