BJP welcomes HC order staying tomorrow's floor test

BJP today welcomed the Uttarakhand High Court Division Bench order staying tomorrow's floor test in the Assembly, saying it has offered clarity and lifted the uncertainty caused by the order of a single judge of the court yesterday.
"We welcome the order. The order delivered yesterday for holding the floor test tomorrow had created a lot of uncertainty. The Division Bench's order has given clarity," BJP National Secretary Shrikant Sharma said reacting to the order.
Attacking Congress, he said it has been caught in its own trap and should not blame the BJP for President's Rule because no government can be run when a majority of MLAs are against its continuation.

"The Governor's report also mentioned about the horse trading involving the then Chief Minister Harish Rawat. He was caught offering allurements to his own party MLAs. Congress has shamed democracy. Actions of its government necessitated President's Rule" he said.
Rawat was involved in political "intrigue" against former Chief Minister and Congress veteran N D Tiwari, Sharma alleged, adding that he "worked for the removal" of former Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna. "Now, he is facing rebellion. He should not be blaming BJP for it."
The Division Bench of Uttarakhand High Court today stayed till April 7 the floor test in the Assembly that was slated for tomorrow.

Staying the order of the single judge U C Dhyani, the two-judge bench headed by Chief Justice K M Joseph posted the matter for April 6 for final hearing on the writ petition filed by ousted Chief Minister Harish Rawat challenging the imposition of President's Rule in the state.
