The development comes a day after Bathinda (Rural) MLA Rupinder Kaur Ruby joined the ruling party hours after resigning from the AAP.
In a dramatic turn of events in Vidhan Sabha Thursday and in a major embarrassment for the main opposition Aam Aadmi Party, its MLA Jagtar Singh Hissowal crossed the floor of the House and joined the treasury benches while calling Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi an “aam aadmi”.
On Thursday, while starting his address to the House, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi took a dig at the AAP, and asked the Opposition benches why the “Delhi wala” (Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal) calls him a “duplicate aam aadmi”. To this the AAP legislators protested
AAP leader Aman Arora accused Speaker Rana K P Singh of supporting defection: “On a day you are bringing an anti-defection law, it is shocking that you and the Congress are promoting defection
To this, Channi said that he was not willing to do all this but he was prompted by the AAP MLAs’ protest on his ‘aam aadmi’ remark.
