AAP moves SC against Centre
New Delhi: The AAP yesterday moved the Supreme Court challenging the February 16 decision of the central government not to dissolve the Delhi assembly as recommended by then chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and keep it in suspended animation.
The plea — likely to come up for hearing next week — said it was incumbent on the president to dissolve the assembly since there was no possibility of the formation of another government.
