BJP wants Governor Lalji Tandon to restore membership of disqualified MLA

The opposition BJP sought Madhya Pradesh Governor Lalji Tandon’s intervention in restoring the membership of BJP MLA Prahlad Lodhi.
He was disqualified by the Assembly Speaker following his conviction by a court in a 2014 assault case.
A BJP delegation including the party’s state unit president Rakesh Singh and former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan submitted a memorandum to the Governor in this regard.
In their memorandum, BJP leaders urged the Governor that as Lodhi’s conviction stayed, his membership should be restored.
Let us tell you, a trial court had convicted Lodhi and sentenced him to two-year imprisonment for attacking the tehsildar of Raipura in August 2014.
