Chandigarh: AAP leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira today claimed the Punjab government was
planning to appoint Congress MLAs as 'legislative assistants' to pacify
agitating party legislators at the cost of public exchequer.
"Chief
Minister Amarinder Singh is going to appoint Congress MLAs as
Legislative Assistants with independent portfolios. This is nothing but
mockery of the constitution provision that doesn't allow more than 10
per cent ministers of the strength of the Vidhan Sabha," the Leader of
Opposition in the state Assembly said here.
