The floor test in Uttarakhand has sent a message to the Bharatiya Janata Party as well as other parties that they cannot use Article 356 to impose President’s Rule in states according to its whims.
The floor test in Uttarakhand has sent a message to the Bharatiya Janata Party as well as other parties that they cannot use Article 356 to impose President’s Rule in states according to its whims. While the BJP talks about making Bharat Congress mukt, it’s role in trying to topple the Congress government exposed it to be no different from the Congress in playing dirty politics. If it weren’t for the Uttarakhand high court initially and the Supreme Court later on, Uttarakhand would have gone the same way as Arunachal Pradesh. This episode will result in a major credibility loss for the BJP in the coming Assembly elections.
