Maya suspends party MLA for backing CAA
Bhopal, December 29
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday suspended party’s MLA in Madhya Pradesh Rama Bai for supporting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
The MLA later claimed that her statement had been “distorted by the media”, and sought forgiveness.
Rama Bai, who represents Patheriya Assembly seat in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district, on Saturday evening supported the Act at a function in her constituency in the presence of Union minister Prahlad Patel.
Mayawati, in a tweet on Sunday, said, “The BSP is a disciplined party and it takes prompt action against its MPs and MLAs who break discipline. Taking this into account, the party suspends Madhya Pradesh’s Patheriya MLA Rama Bai Parihar for supporting CAA. — PTI
