In October, a complaint was lodged to the Lokayukta against BJP MLA Bajrang Bahadur Singh from Pharenda seat of Maharajganj district, that he was doing government contract. Lokayukta Justice NK Mehrotra, in the investigation, found the charges against Singh to be correct and recommended the government dismiss his assembly membership. The recommendation of the Lokayukta was sent by the government to the Governor. The governor referred the matter to the Election Commission. The Election Commission conducted a hearing on the matter and found that under Article 191 of the Constitution, no MLA can hold the post of profit under the Center or any State Government.
