MLA Vijay Bahadur Yadav has been suspended by the party from Legislature group for cross voting during Rajya Sabha elections, an official release said here.
"I have recommended the state unit chief to take action against Yadav as his act comes under voluntary anti-defection law," Leader of BJP in UP Assembly Suresh Khanna said.
The MLA had cross voted in favour of a Samajwadi Party candidate yesterday.
"I voted on the basis of development done by the Chief Minister and I am ready to make any sacrifice," he said.
