AAP Doubles Down In Fight With Punjab Governor Over Special Session
Chandigarh:

The Punjab cabinet today made a fresh recommendation for a special Assembly session to take a majority test, a day after Governor Banwarilal Purohit blocked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's move for a majority test.

The Bhagwant Mann-led government, which has accused the BJP of trying to poach its MLAs, wants to take a test of strength in the Assembly to prove that all its legislators are with the party.

AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal government won a similar majority test in Delhi last month after alleging an "Operation Lotus" by the BJP to bring down the AAP government.
