AAP will win over 60 seats in assembly polls: Sanjay Singh
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh has expressed confidence of his party's victory in the Delhi assembly elections and said the party will win over 60 seats.
Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday described President Ram Nath Kovind’s order disqualifying 20 of its MLAs for holding offices of profit as “unconstitutional” and “dangerous for democracy”.
The president on Sunday accepted the Election Commission’s recommendation to disqualify the 20 AAP MLAs.

Reacting to the development, senior AAP leader Ashutosh said, “President’s order to disqualify AAP MLAs is unconstitutional and dangerous for democracy.”

Alka Lamba, who is among the 20 AAP MLAs disqualified, said the decision was “painful” and the president should have heard them out before arriving at any conclusion.
The AAP MLAs had also sought time from the president. The AAP MLAs were appointed parliamentary secretaries and their appointment was described as them holding offices of profit by a petitioner.
The AAP has also approached the Delhi High Court seeking a stay on EC’s recommendation. The court has listed the case for a hearing on Monday.
“We are expecting relief from the court. Our petition is coming up for hearing on Monday,” Madanlal, who represented the Kasturba Nagar constituency, said.
