AAP senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema on Thursday asked Vidhan Sabha Speaker Rana KP Singh to conduct a floor test of the Punjab Government to prove its majority.

He said with about 40 Congress MLAs seeking removal of Capt Amarinder Singh as Chief Minister, the state government had gone into minority and a floor test was the need of the hour. He said: “Capt Amarinder Singh has lost support of the people of Punjab as well as his own MLAs.”

Cheema said the two factions in the Congress had been publicly blaming each other for a long time. “In such a situation, the government of Capt Amarinder Singh has lost its majority,” he said, stressing the Vidhan Sabha Speaker should immediately conduct a majority test in the House to know how many MLAs were with Capt Amarinder Singh’s government. — TNS
