“These MLAs have been given the right to vote but they cannot enter the premises. So, we will have to make special arrangement for them,” said Anant Kalse, principal secretary (legislature).

The Legislative Assembly had suspended Shishir Shinde (Bhandup), Ram Kadam (Vikroli), Vasant Gite (Nasik) and Ramesh Wanjale (Khadakwasla) after they were charged for assaulting Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi last year, for taking the oath of office in Hindi and not in Marathi.
