Two legislators of Madhya Pradesh's opposition BJP, who voted in favour of an amendment bill along with the 120 ruling Congress and allied legislators in the state assembly on Wednesday, are old Congress men. Sharad Kol and Narayan Tripathi voted for the Congress's Advocate Protection Act Bill - a long-time demand of the lawyers of the state. The bill, drafted 15 years ago, had never made it to the assembly during the three-term government of Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The BJP did not participate in the voting and the bill was passed with 122 votes in its favour.
