Bhubaneswar: The Indian National Congress today formally submitted an application to Odisha Legislative Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy seeking the disqualification of the membership of suspended MLA Ramesh Jena.
A delegation of the party, including OPCC president Bhakta Charan Das and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Rama Chandra Kadam met the Speaker and handed over a memorandum seeking Jena’s disqualification from the Assembly.
The grand old party had earlier filed similar petitions seeking the disqualification of MLAs Sofia Firdous and Dasarathi Gomango.
It is to be noted here that the Congress party had suspended to all these three MLAs for cross voting during the recent Rajya Sabha polls despite a party whip.
