The AAP MLAs have claimed that the pen drives provided to them by the poll panel were faulty, and hence requested the Election Commission that they need more time. Some of the 21 AAP MLAs have filed replies before the Election Commission saying they need more time to study the documents as the pen drives provided by the poll panel were faulty. The petition to disqualify AAP MLAs was filed by advocate Prashant Patel, who has termed the legislators' move a "ploy" to delay the proceedings. On October 7, the AAP MLAs were to file a response, but again had asked for an extension. The Commission has also asked Patel to submit his rejoinder to the AAP MLAs response by October 21.
