Dr. Govind Singh had also applied for termination of membership, it was canceled on technical grounds
Madhya Pradesh Congress: Bhopal (State Bureau). Congress will not seat Barwah MLA Sachin Birla, who rebelled against the party during the Khandwa Lok Sabha by-election, in the Congress assembly. By not proposing any change in the sitting arrangement of the House, the Legislature Party has also informed the Assembly Secretariat about it. An application was also made by the Congress to end Birla’s membership, but Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam has rejected it on technical grounds. Now after consulting legal experts, preparations are on to apply again.
Before each session of the Legislative Assembly, the Secretariat takes suggestions from the Legislature Party regarding the arrangement for the sitting in the House. Congress Legislature Party Chief Whip Dr. Govind Singh has written a letter saying that the meeting arrangement of the last session should be maintained. It has become clear that the party will not make Sachin Birla sit with its members as his name was not given by the party in the last session also.
Dr. Singh says that Birla had joined BJP in Barwah’s Bedia in the presence of the Chief Minister. Now Congress has nothing to do with them. We had also applied for the cancellation of his membership, which has been canceled on technical grounds. Former Chief Minister Kamal Nath is consulting legal experts in this regard. Will be applying again soon.
Members of Congress party will remain till the end of membership
Officials of the Assembly Secretariat say that even if Congress makes him sit with them in the House or not, it will not change the condition of Sachin Birla. They will be deemed to be members of the Congress party only until a decision is taken regarding their membership. As far as giving seats in the House is concerned, the Speaker will decide in this regard. Last time also he was given a different place.
status quo letter given
AP Singh, principal secretary of the assembly, said that before the session, the legislature party is asked about the arrangement for the sitting of the members in the house. A letter has come from the Congress Legislature Party, in which it has been said to maintain the status quo.
