Bhagwant Mann calls meeting of MLAs tomorrow after Punjab Guv's move

Chandigarh/IBNS: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has called for a meeting of MLAs on Thursday after Governor Banwarilal Purohit turned down the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's demand for a special session of the assembly to introduce a trust vote.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal earlier in the evening said  'democracy is over' after the Punjab Governor's move.

The Governor has withdrawn the order to summon a special session of the Punjab assembly on Sept 22.

Reacting sharply to the Governor's decision, Kejriwal tweeted: "How can the governor refuse a session called by the cabinet? Then democracy is over. Two days ago, the Governor gave permission for the session. When Operation Lotus started failing and the number was not completed, a call came from above asking to withdraw the permission."

In a fresh order issued on Wednesday, Purohit said the earlier order stands withdrawn in the absence of specific rules regarding summoning of the assembly for considering the confidence motion that was called by the Punjab government.

AAP leaders have been complaining of poaching attempts by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party to topple the government in Punjab, as part of what AAP and other parties claim to be BJP's "Operation Lotus".

The AAP leadership wanted to prove their majority in the house through a confidence motion in the assembly.
