In a jolt to the Opposition BJP in Madhya Pradesh, two of its MLAs backed the seven-month-old Congress-led government during the voting on a Bill in the Assembly on Wednesday. The Congress claimed that more BJP MLAs could join it.
BJP legislators Narayan Tripathi and Sharad Kol voted in favour of the Criminal Law (Madhya Pradesh Amendment) Bill, 2019 when it was put to vote in the Assembly.
"Several BJP MLAs are in touch with Chief Minister Kamal Nath. They are sitting on the fence. They may cross over to Congress by the next Assembly session," claimed Public Relations Minister PC Sharma, talking to reporters later. During the division of votes on the Bill, 122 MLAs voted in favour of the Congress government.
In the 230-member house, the ruling Congress has support of 121 MLAs, including Speaker NP Prajapati, who did not take part in the voting.
