Mounting scathing attack on BJP over the ongoing Uttarakhand crisis, Congress leader Ambika Soni alleged that BJP is desperate to dislodge Congress government in Uttarakhand through President's Rule.
"What is happening is the last chapter in the drama after the rebels and the BJP failed to get any relief from the High Court," Soni told reporters
She was addressing a late night press conference on Saturday, just after the Union Cabinet meet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the crisis in Uttarakhand.
Ambika soni asserted that there is no constitutional crisis in Uttarakhand to warrant President's Rule.
"Harish Rawat government enjoys majority in the assembly which we are ready to prove on March 28," she added. Soni insisted the Speaker is fully empowered to look into the "defection situation" and no one can interfere in that.
Earlier, BJP on Saturday demanded President's Rule in the Uttarakhand, saying Chief Minister Harish Rawat has no right to continue after a sting operation purportedly showed him bargaining with rebel party MLAs to win their support ahead of floor test on March 28.
