The AAP leader could not take oath on an earlier occasion because of four cases of breach of privilege pending against him before the Upper House Privileges Committee.

Mr Singh was suspended on 24 July, 2023, and on 11 August, the House passed a motion continuing his suspension till the Privileges Committee submits its findings.

Mr Sanjay Singh has been elected to the Upper House of Parliament from the National Capital Region of Delhi.
