12 BJP MLAs In Maharashtra Disqualified For Abusing Assembly Speaker

Leader of the opposition Devendra Fadnavis, who was allegedly present during the ruckus, has insisted these are "false allegations".

Twelve MLAs of the BJP will be suspended for a year for abusing and manhandling the Speaker-in-chair of the Maharashtra assembly, which started its monsoon session today. Leader of the opposition Devendra Fadnavis, who was allegedly present during the ruckus, has insisted these are "false allegations". "These are false allegations. A story is being created… no one from the BJP abused, Mr Fadnavis told the media. "For OBC (Other backward Castes) reservations, we are ready to sacrifice more than 12 MLAs," he added, referring to one of the key issues that his party is set to flag during this session.
