Kejriwal government now enjoys the support of 35 MLAs, one less than majority number. Last week, expelled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny decided to withdraw support to the Delhi government, terming Kejriwal as being "more dangerous" than a corrupt person.
AAP government loses majority in the Delhi Legislative Assembly as Independent MLA Rambeer Shokeen withdraws support. AAP has now been reduced to a minority government.
Shookeen who is an MLA from the Mundka constituency met Lt Governor Nejeeb Jung today apprising him of his decision to withdraw support to the government. He is likely to hold a press conference later today. Shokeen said he quit after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reneged on his promises to solve the power and water problems in Delhi.

In new development the Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has backed Arvind Kejriwal's demand for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that followed the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. The SIT will investigate whether evidence was ignored by the police and why over a third of the cases registered after the 1984 riots were closed.
