New Delhi: President Ramnath Kovind has dismissed a plea to disqualify 27 ruling Aam Admi Party MLAs of Delhi for allegedly holding office of profit by being appointed as chairpersons of Rogi Kalyan Samitis attached to various city hospitals.
The order, which is based on the recommendation of the election commission, brings huge relief for AAP legislators, who will now continue to remain in their positions.
The President signed the order dismissing the plea based on an opinion given by the Election Commission (EC) in July, a senior poll panel functionary said Thursday, reports PTI.
The EC had found no merit in the plea.
