Defector Drama: Sukhi Faces Disqualification Plea

Akali MLA Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi is under scrutiny for defecting from SAD to AAP, facing a disqualification plea. Appointed AAP's vice-president for Doaba, Sukhi is to defend himself. Originally elected in 2017, he moved to AAP in 2022, leading to legal proceedings questioning his allegiance shift.

Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi, an Akali MLA embroiled in controversy for shifting allegiance from SAD to AAP, now faces a plea for his disqualification. Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan has called for Sukhi to defend his position following the allegations.

Sukhi, now serving as AAP's vice-president for the Doaba zone, transitioned to the party last year in the presence of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Despite his shift, he retains his rights as a member of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.

Legal proceedings initiated by Advocate H C Arora question his eligibility following the defection, as Sukhi's political journey, marked by multiple elections and appointments, faces scrutiny.
