In March, 2017, a man named Vivek Garg had filed a petition before the President seeking disqualification of 11 AAP lawmakers, including state Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, claiming that being co-chairpersons of district disaster management authorities in 11 Delhi districts, they were enjoying office of profit.
The issue was referred to the Election Commission which gave an opinion in August that holding the office of co-chairperson of a district disaster management authority does not attract disqualification as MLA as there is no remuneration by way of salary, allowances, sitting fee.
[5][6] On July 8, the drugs control department had filed complaints under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act before a Dwarka court against BJP MP Gautam Gambhir’s foundation and the two AAP MLAs Praveen Kumar and Imran Hussain for allegedly stocking and distributing medical oxygen.
Allegations against the Gautam Gambhir Foundation pertain to stocking and distribution of a Covid drug and medical oxygen.
The department gave a clean chit to Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri in a private complaint alleging unlawful distribution of medical oxygen by them.
