Maya suspends MLA for supporting CAA
Bhopal, December 29
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday suspended party MLA Rama Bai for supporting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Rama Bai, who represents the Patheriya Assembly seat in Madhya Pradesh, on Saturday evening supported the Act at a function in her constituency where Union minister Prahlad Patel was present.
On Sunday, Mayawati tweeted: “The BSP is a disciplined party and it takes prompt action against its MP and MLAs who break discipline… Taking this into account, the party suspends Madhya Pradesh’s Patheriya MLA Rama Bai Parihar for supporting CAA. She has been banned from taking part in the party functions.”
The MLA could not be contacted for her comments. — PTI
