Mumbai, June 13: The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly
Speaker Arun Gujarathi today disqualified from the house seven
of the eight MLAs who had withdrawn support to the DF
government, facing trust motion later in the day.
“The case of Padmakar Walvi has been kept pending,” the Speaker said. The legislators-- five NCP MLAs, one JD(S) and one nominated member -- have been disqualified "Since their conduct, behaviour and action appeared as if they had voluntarily resigned from the party", the Speaker said. While Narayan Pawar, Shivajirao Naik and Narsingh Patil (all NCP) as well as Vinay Kore have been disqualified from the house since June 4, NCP MLA Shirish Kotwal and nominated member Desmond Yates have been disqualified from 5th and 7th June respectively. “ The JD(S) candidate Gangaram Thhakrwad has been disqualified from 4th June,” the Speaker said.
“All these above seats will now be considered vacant,” Gujarati said.
“However, Walvi, the lone Congress MLA, who had gone back to Congress camp yesterday, would be permitted to vote today since his case has been kept pending,” the Speaker added.
