If the president approves the EC's recommendations, bypolls will be held in the 20 assembly constituencies. Arvind Kejriwal's AAP has 65 seats in 70-member Delhi assembly. The lawmakers were appointed as parliamentary secretaries soon after assembly elections in Delhi in 2015. Opposition had earlier called for action against the AAP lawmakers for holding office of profit.
