The Rajasthan High Court on Monday dismissed a petition filed by BJP legislator Madan Dilawar against the merger of six former Bahujan Samaj Party MLAs with the Congress. Former BSP MLAs Sandeep Yadav, Wajib Ali, Deepchand Kheria, Lakhan Meena, Jogendra Awana and Rajendra Gudha had applied for a merger with the Congress on September 16, 2019, a request which was granted by then Assembly Speaker Chandra Prakash Joshi. Two days later, the Speaker declared the MLAs will be considered as a part of the Congress.
