Uttarakhand crisis : AG to argue for Centre against floor test
The Central Government challenges the Nainital High Court's order directing a floor test in the Uttarakhand state assembly on March 31.
The High Court on Tuesday ordered a floor test in the Assembly to determine which party enjoys a majority and stayed President's Rule, which was imposed on Sunday. The court, in it order, also allowed the nine suspended rebel MLAs to take part in the floor test.
With the move coming weeks after President's rule was imposed in Arunachal Pradesh, an angry Congress claimed that the BJP had stooped to a new low and would challenge the order in court.
The crisis in the hill state erupted on March 18 when nine Congress MLAs rebelled against Rawat's government. The BJP met the Governor the same day and staked claim to form the government.
