Amid the sword of disqualification dangling over the heads of 20 AAP MLAs over the office of profit row, veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and actor Shatrughan Sinha has come out in support of them.
"Politics of vendetta or politics of vested interests just don’t last long. Don’t worry, be happy!," said Sinha in a tweet.
Stating that the AAP is talk of the town and have no reason to worry, Sinha tweeted:
‘AAP’ Aaye,
‘AAP’ Chhaye,
‘AAP’ hi ‘AAP’ Charcha ke Vishaye (talk of the town)!!
Ghar ghar mein,
Har khabar mein,
Toh phir kis baat ki fikar ‘AAP’ ko?
‘AAP’ Aaye,

Sinha's reaction came after the leadership of the ruling AAP in Delhi huddled into a meeting to discuss the matter.
The 20 MLAs, for whom the Election Commission recommended disqualification as they allegedly held offices of profit, participated in the meeting with Kejriwal, Sisodia, and other senior AAP leaders, and discussed the next course of action.
Emerging from the meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, senior party leader and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said an appointment has been sought to meet President Ram Nath Kovind to urge his intervention in the matter.
"The MLAs will urge the president to return the EC's recommendation asking it to hear the legislators and let them present evidence to show they did not held offices of profit," Sisodia said.
"The MLAs were not given opportunity to present the evidence with them. They have a lot to tell and prove that there was no office of profit case. It is unconstitutional and illegal. We are seeking appointment to meet the president and the MLAs will convey him that it is a biased recommendation and against natural justice," he claimed.
Gopal Rai, the president of the Delhi unit of the AAP, claimed "victimisation" and asserted the party was "not afraid of elections".
Both Sisodia and Rai claimed the 20 MLAs did not receive even a "single" penny as parliamentary secretaries or any other benefit like office space or accommodation while serving on the post.
The AAP has also approached the Delhi High Court seeking a stay on EC's recommendation. The court has listed the case for a hearing on Monday.
