A day after the Congress suffered a humiliating defeat in Punjab Assembly election, the State Cabinet on March 11 gave the approval to recommend to Governor Banwarilal Purohit the dissolution of the 15th Punjab State Assembly.
The decision was taken during a virtual Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi here.
An official statement said that the Punjab Governor was authorised to dissolve the State legislature as per sub-clause (b) of clause (2) of Article 174 of the Constitution of India.
