Jaitley charges crisis-hit Uttarakhand govt with subverting Constitution

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said, there has been no greater subversion of Constitution than the recent political crisis in Uttarakhand. Terming it as textbook example of breakdown of governance, Mr. Jaitley said, everything that can go wrong with the constitutional functioning has happened in Uttarakhand.<br/><br/>In an interview to PTI, he said, it has never happened in India that an Appropriation Bill defeated in Assembly has been declared passed by the Speaker.<br/><br/>Mr. Jaitley maintained, Uttarakhand is an internal problem of Congress. Yesterday, Congress leader Ambika Soni had accused that the Centre is destabilizing the Congress government in Uttarakhand.<br/><br/>On her statement that Harish Rawat government is ready to prove majority on the floor, Mr. Jaitley claimed, using extended period to allure and bribe the MLAs are all examples of the constitutional breach.<br/><br/>Yesterday, a BJP delegation marched to Rashtrapati Bhawan and demanded imposition of President's rule in the state. The move came in the backdrop of sting operation which purportedly showed Chief Minister Harish Rawat bargaining with rebel party MLAs to win their support ahead of the floor test on Monday.
