The JD(U) whip came after at least five of its total 45 MLAs failed to turn up at a luncheon meeting organised at the house of party leader and state minister Shravan Kumar on Saturday. Of the five MLAs, two are said to be out of the state while one was undergoing medical treatment, a JD(U) insider said. "A whip has been issued, directing MLAs to remain present in the House and vote in favour of the government whenever the occasion arises," Shravan Kumar told reporters, describing the move as a "routine exercise" before an assembly session. The rural welfare minister warned that MLAs defying the whip would have to face "consequences", including "losing their membership".
