BJP workers attack homes of MPs who abstained

New Delhi: The BJP has decided to expel eight MPs who didn't turn up or cross voted on Tuesday. Party workers are also attacking the houses of these MPs.

In Mumbai, BJP volunteers protested in front of BJP MP Haribhau Rathod's residence. Rathod, who belongs to the Gopinath Munde camp, had abstained from the vote citing ill health.

Police detained nearly 30 protestors, including former party MP Kirit Somaiya, for the protest at Mulund.

The BJP also launched a protest in Bangalore, where BJP MP, H T Sangliana's office was attacked.

In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP cadre stoned the residence of party MP Chandrabhan Singh at Damoh, who had also abstained citing health reasons. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan lashed out at Singh for betraying the BJP, saying that health was not the reason why he didn't vote.

"His family members are saying that he was not well, but it is a matter of investigation and I think that there is something more to his abstension," Shivraj Singh Chauhan said.
