NEW DELHI: "In the end, truth prevails," tweeted Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday following the Election Commission's recommendation to disqualify 20 MLAs of his party.“When you take the path of honesty, you are bound to face hurdles. This is natural. However, all the forces of universe come together to help you. God helps you. Because, you are not working for your own selfish goals, you are working for the country and the society. History is witness that in the end, truth prevails,” he tweeted.This was Kejriwal’s first reaction since the crisis unfolded earlier in the day.Earlier today, in a blow to Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party , the Election Commission asked the President to disqualify 20 of the party MLAs for holding offices of profit, setting the stage for their ouster from the assembly.The development does not threaten the AAP government as it has 65 MLAs in the 70-member assembly. Still, the BJP and Congress demanded that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal resign on moral grounds.Reacting furiously to the EC order, AAP claimed the Chief Election Commissioner was trying to destabilize its government at the behest of the Prime Minister.Seven of these MLAs moved the Delhi High Court challenging the EC's recommendation but the bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal refused to pass any interim order.In its opinion sent to President Ram Nath Kovind this morning, the Election Commission said the MLAs, by occupying the post of parliamentary secretaries between March 13, 2015 and September 8, 2016, held office of profit, and were liable to be disqualified as legislators, highly-placed sources said.Parliamentary Secretaries assist ministers with their work. The party insisted that despite holding the office these MLAs did not take any salaries or perks.
