Overview
- JD(U)’s parliamentary leader Dileshwar Kamait, who filed the notice Wednesday, asked Speaker Om Birla to disqualify Banka MP Girdhari Yadav.
- Party leaders say the request stems from Yadav allegedly campaigning for his son, Chanakya Prakash Ranjan, who ran on an RJD ticket from Belhar and lost to JD(U) candidate Manoj Yadav.
- Girdhari Yadav denied any anti-party work and said he will present his stand if the Speaker asks for an explanation.
- JD(U) had earlier issued show-cause notices to Yadav for remarks that contradicted the party’s stance, including criticism of Electronic Voting Machines and of the Election Commission’s voter roll update drive known as Special Intensive Revision.
- The Speaker now decides next steps under parliamentary rules that govern disqualification, a process that weighs party claims against the law and does not automatically penalize campaigning for a relative in another party.
