Setback for BJP in MP

In what can be seen as a setback for the BJP, its MLA Prahlad Lodhi of the Pawai Assembly constituency had to give up his membership on Saturday after he was convicted by a special court, for two years in an old case. Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly member NP Prajapati had informed about the MLA's conviction for two years by a special court. An earlier ruling states that if a member of the legislative house is found convicted, he loses his membership at that very moment. Prajapati also said that the Election Commission has been informed about the vacancy of a post in the Madhya Pradesh state assembly.

'People rejected BJP'

Earlier in October, when MP CM Kamal Nath was asked about the Maharashtra assembly elections, he said that the difference in the election trends in the country shows that people have rejected the Bharatiya Janata Party. "The same places, where the BJP won by huge margins three to four-months back, is rejecting the party today; this indicates that people are realising. The leader further added that it is time for the politics of dividing and instigating to end, we will try and make a Congress Government in Haryana because the BJP did not win a majority. People have absolutely rejected them and they must accept this defeat, they should not even try to make a government.
