In a big setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Election Commission on Friday recommended that 20 of its MLAs be disqualified for holding 'office of profit'. The EC has sent its recommendation to the President for his assent, which he's fully expected to give. In cases where petitions are made seeking disqualification of lawmakers, the President sends a reference to the EC which decides on the case by sending back its opinion. In the current scenario, the petition was directed at 21 MLAs, but one had resigned. The disqualification of the legislators is expected to pave the way for by elections in Delhi.
