BJP accuses Congress of misleading country over political crisis in Arunachal Pradesh

BJP on Monday accused the Congress of misleading the country over political crisis in Arunachal Pradesh and termed it as the result of Congress's internal conflict. <br/> <br/>Talking to reporters in New Delhi, party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi defended the Centre's move to recommend President's rule in the state. <br/><br/>He said Congress has no answer on Constitutional, moral and political grounds over the issue, as a government cannot remain in office if it does not call for a session of the House within six months of the last session. <br/><br/>Citing Constitutional provisions, Mr. Trivedi said the Nabam Tuki government should have convened the assembly session by 21st January which it did not because it had lost majority.<br/><br/>He said Congress MLAs revolted because of family matter and corruption charges against the government. <br/><br/>Asked about President Pranab Mukherjee's meeting with Home Minister Rajnath Singh over the issue of President's Rule, he said Rashtrapati Bhavan will take a decision in its wisdom.
