The membership of Jayadev MLA Arabinda Dhali and Telkoi MLA Premananda Nayak were disqualified under anti-defection law.
The Speaker decided after the Odisha Government Chief Whip MLA Prasanta Kumar Muduli filed a petition, seeking disqualification of two members as they voluntarily gave up primary membership from the BJD in which they were elected to the Assembly.
