An MLC was removed from office following the council’s decision, prompting criticism from Mahayuti leaders Kalgeetura and Vad Vikopala Ban.
The Maharashtra Legislative Council has removed a Member of Legislative Council (MLC) following a recent vote, a move that has sparked controversy among opposition parties.
The decision came after the council convened to address the MLC’s alleged misconduct, and the removal was passed with a narrow majority. The council’s official statement cited procedural violations as the primary reason for the dismissal.
Mahayuti leaders Kalgeetura and Vad Vikopala Ban have publicly criticized the removal, describing it as politically motivated and lacking due process. They argue that the decision undermines democratic norms and could set a dangerous precedent for future council actions.
The opposition has called for a review of the council’s procedures and has urged the state government to ensure transparency in the removal process. The incident has reignited debates over the balance of power within Maharashtra’s legislative bodies.
