Rashtriya lok Dal (RlD) President Ajit Singh has suspended two MPs Devender Nagpal (Amroha) and Sarika Singh Baghel (Hathras) for indulging in anti-party activities.
Giving the two MPs a weeks’ time to explain their positions, the RlD president said the party would initiate action against them and seek their disqualification from the lok Sabha under the Anti-Defection law if they did notclear their stand within the stipulated period.
A party spokesman said that two MPs have repeatedly beenmaking anti-party statements and have also campaignied against the Rashtriya lok Dal. Sarika Singh Baghel hasbeen declared a Samajwadi Party candidate from the Agra lok Sabha constituency, he said.
Party president in a letter to MPs said the duo have repeatedly been publicly making anti party statements which have been widely reported in the media and have been hobnobbing with another political outfit. This was against the party discipline. Thus action would be taken against the MPs under the anti- defection law, if they did not respond within seven days, party president said.
