Calling the crisis in the state "an internal problem of the Congress", Arun Jaitley said that Everything that Uttarakhand is a textbook example of breakdown of governance.
Uttarakhand was brought under President’s rule on Sunday by the Centre on grounds of “breakdown of governance” in a controversial decision which comes in the wake of a political crisis triggered by a rebellion in the ruling Congress.
President Pranab Mukherjee signed the proclamation under Art 356 of the Constitution dismissing the Congress government headed by Harish Rawat and placing the Assembly under suspended animation this morning on the recommendation of the Union Cabinet.
Hours after President’s rule was imposed, nine rebel Congress MLAs including former chief minister Vijay Bahuguna were disqualified from the state Assembly by Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal under the anti-defection law.Calling the crisis in the state "an internal problem of the Congress", Arun Jaitley said that Everything that Uttarakhand is a textbook example of breakdown of governance.
