A Government of India notification on 21 January, said that President has approved EC recommendation to disqualify 20 AAP MLAs from Delhi Assembly
President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday approved a recommendation by the Election Commission (EC) to disqualify 20 AAP MLAs for allegedly holding offices of profit.
Election Commission on Friday asked President Kovind to disqualify 20 AAP MLAsfor being parliamentary secretaries.
The disqualification will not endanger the Arvind Kejriwal government but its numbers will come down to 45 in the 70-seat Delhi Assembly. The party would still enjoy a comfortable majority in the assembly.
