“This decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court will protect democratic values and it is yet another loud slap on the face of MVA government for its unconstitutional, immoral, unfair, illegal and undemocratic actions and activities. I congratulate our BJP I 12 Maharashtra MLAs get justice,” he added.
“Since the beginning, we were saying that it was a completely unconstitutional and gross misuse of power to suspend our MLAs for such a long period to create an artificial majority and that too for no valid reason and the Supreme Court has upheld our stand,” he stated.
“It was not only a question of 12 MLAs but of more than 50 lakh citizens in these 12 constituencies. Democracy saved!!,” he further stated.
Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court termed as “unconstitutional and arbitrary” the one-year suspension of 12 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs from the state assembly.
A bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar said the suspension of the MLAs could not have been suspended beyond the ongoing monsoon session in July 2021. Twelve MLAs were suspended for one year for allegedly misbehaving with the presiding officer.
