Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel earlier this month had disqualified Mishra under the anti-defection law after he campaigned for the BJP during the Lok Sabha elections in May.

Revenge politics takes centre stage in Karnataka. While the BJP defeated the coalition government in the recent trust vote, Just For Laughs on MyNation tells you how the Speaker, in turn, left the BJP speechless by disqualifying three of the rebels

After Telangana MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy of the Congress hinted at joining the BJP, the Congress is now considering taking action against him. However, the party plans to take legal opinion in view of the argument that anti-defection law may not apply if he is suspended.

Siddaramaiah said that anti-defection law applies to Umesh Jadhav and the matter of his disqualification from MLA post has not been finalised yet.
