After ex-Congress MLA from Bassi Pathana Gurpreet Singh GP, Dr Chabbewal is the second prominent Congress leader to join the AAP in a week in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections
In 90-member House, JJP has 10 members, Congress 30, Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP) and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) one each, and there are seven independents
Kewal Pathania, who is also a member of public accounts and e-governance and general purposes committees, lost in assembly elections twice before being elected MLA from Shahpur in 2022
The BJP, which has 41 MLAs in the 90-member House, is dependent on the support of six Independent MLAs and one Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP) MLA to prove its majority. The support of six Independents has become crucial for the survival of the BJP government following the severing of ties with its post poll ally, the JJP on Tuesday.
