MP assembly disqualifies Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti at midnight, opposition cries foul
Madhya Pradesh assembly disqualified Congress MLA Rajendra Bharti at midnight after a Delhi court sentenced him in a bank fraud case. The opposition slammed the move as a democratic violation, especially as the court stayed the sentence for 60 days for appeal. Constitutional experts questioned the premature disqualification, while parties traded accusations.
