Haryana Political Crisis: Trouble Likely To Mount For BJP As Dushyant Chautala Demands Floor Test

Haryana Political Crisis: Chautala has urged the Governor to call for a floor test immediately to make the government prove its majority and impose President's Rule if the government fails to do so.

Haryana Political Crisis: As the political crisis deepens in Haryana, trouble will likely mount in the state for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Former Haryana Deputy CM and JJP leader Dushyant Chautala wrote a letter to state Governor Bandaru Dattatreya seeking urgent action regarding the present political situation in the state, news agency ANI reported on Thursday.

In his letter, Chautala has urged the Governor to call for a floor test immediately to make the government prove its majority and impose President's Rule if the government fails to do so.

"Given the developments and the clear stance of the party, i.e., JJP, which does not extend its support to the present government and is open to backing any other political party for government formation, it is evident that the incumbent government no longer commands a majority in the legislative assembly," the letter read.

Speaking on the situation in the state, Congress candidate from Rohtak Lok Sabha constituency Deepender Singh Hooda said, "The way 3 independent MLAs have withdrawn their support and supported Congress in Haryana, the government here has come into the minority. A minority government has no moral right. This government should resign immediately. If it does not resign, then the Governor should take cognizance of the matter and impose President's rule in Haryana and conduct elections."

Earlier, Chautala said that his party will think about giving support to Congress from outside if the grand old party takes steps to corner the current BJP government in Haryana. A new political crisis unfolded in Haryana after three Independent MLAs withdrew their support to the ruling BJP in Haryana on Tuesday and announced that they would back the Congress.
