Former chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh Nabam Tuki on Saturday blamed RSS and BJP for the dismissal of his government, alleging that their aim was to topple all Congress governments in the Northeast.
Mr Tuki, whose Congress government was dismissed by imposition of President’s Rule on January 26 after 21 party MLAs revolted against him, also alleged that governor J.P. Rajkhowa and Union minister Kiren Rijiju worked “to overthrow his democratically elected popular government”.
“The whole dissidence was funded and controlled by RSS and BJP. They just want to topple all Congress governments in the Northeast. RSS and BJP were firing through the shoulders of Congress dissident MLAs,” he said at a press conference here.
Mr Tuki’s statement came a day after leader of the Congress dissidents, Kalikho Pul, was sworn-in as Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh following withdrawal of President’s rule.
