AAP councilors protest against cancellation of mayoral polls
The party may move the court after taking legal opinion on the matter, said AAP leader Durgesh Pathak.
Outspoken Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday suggested that the party should ask all its ministers to wear Indian attires and refrain from consuming alcohol.
In a series of tweets, the firebrand leader said: “Article 49 of Const (Constitution) directs alcohol drinks be banned. While I am not for penal action, BJP should make as part of party discipline.”

“Western dress is a foreign imposed slavishness. BJP should make it of party discipline for Ministers to wear Indian climate friendly clothes,” he added.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been seen sporting western attires on many occasions, there are several leaders in the BJP including Union Minister Kiren Rijiju and Nitin Gadkari who often dress in western wear.
The statement will surely not go down well the senior leadership of the party.
Meanwhile, the Congress slammed Swamy for his views and asked him to change his mindset.
