Jaipur, Aug 24 (UNI) Rajasthan High Court on Monday asked the Assembly Speaker to take a call within three months over merger of six BSP MLAs with Congress.
The Court's direction came while hearing a writ petition filed by BJP MLA Madan Dilawar.
A single-judge bench Justice Mahendra Kumar Goyal asked Dilawar to approach Assembly Speaker C P Joshi.
Dilawar has alleged that six BSP MLAs-Sandeep Yadav, Wajib Ali, Deepchand Kheria, Lakhan Meena, Jogendra Awana and Rajendra Gudha-were unconstitutionally merged with the Congress after the Assembly polls in 2018 by an order from the Speaker.
The petitioner also alleged that the Speaker did not paid any heed to objections raised by the BJP at the time of merger.
In the 200-member Assembly, Congress has 101 MLAs while BJP 72.
