The Rajasthan assembly Thursday revoked the suspension of three Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) legislators from the house after protests by its members led by former chief minister Vasundhara Raje. The three MLAs -- Gyandev Ahuja, Hemsingh Bhadana and Bhawani Sigh Rajawat -- were suspended from the house for a year for unruly behaviour and indiscipline on July 28. The budget session of the assembly, which was then adjourned indefinitely in the wake of strong protests from the BJP members, started Thursday.
The BJP members boycotted the session and sat on a dharna in the assembly premises demanding that the suspension be revoked. They were led by former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, who is now leader of the opposition. Since all BJP legislators were out of the house, the ruling Congress moved a suo motu motion for ending the suspension of the MLAs arguing that a month was enough. Speaker Dipendra Singh Shekhawat allowed the motion that was passed by a voice vote. Earlier, the suspended MLAs were stopped by the security personnel from entering the assembly and they sat on a dharna on the road in front of the assembly.
