Assembly Speaker accepts MLA Phoolka’s resignation

Days after AAP MLA from Dakha HS Phoolka wrote to Speaker of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha Rana KP Singh stating that he would have to move the Supreme Court if his resignation was not accepted, his resignation was today accepted by the Speaker.
This paves way for the byelection to the Dakha Assembly segment, along with that of Phagwara and Jalalabad Assembly segments that have fallen vacant after BJP’s Som Prakash and SAD’s Sukhbir Singh Badal, who were the MLAs from Phagwara and Jalalabad, respectively, were elected to the Lok Sabha from Hoshiarpur and Ferozepur, respectively, in the General Elections earlier this year.
