Chandigarh, May 4

Opposition parties are crying foul over the presence of Vidhan Sabha Speaker Rana KP Singh at the ceremony held here to induct Ropar AAP MLA Amarjit Singh Sandoa into the Congress.

Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema said it was a constitutional crisis that the Speaker was part of defections. “We have been crying foul that our MLAs are being offered huge sums to defect to the Congress. We want an independent agency to probe the matter,” he said.

Aman Arora, AAP MLA, said the Speaker’s presence showed poaching of MLAs by the Speaker himself. “We strongly object the conduct of the Speaker and urge the Election Commission to take notice of it,” he said.

Daljit Singh Cheema, SAD leader, said the Speaker had lowered the prestige of the House by being a party to a defection. TNS

No role: Speaker

Speaker Rana KP Singh said he had nothing to do with Sandoa’s defection. “I had gone to meet the CM. It was later that Sandoa came to my residence and informed me about his decision to join the Congress," he claimed.
