NDA delegation meets Manmohan, calls for “immediate recall” of Bhardwaj
NEW DELHI: The Centre on Monday assured a delegation of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) that it would not resort to any “unconstitutional step” on the recommendation of Karnataka Governor H.R. Bhardwaj for imposition of President's Rule in the State.
The commitment was made by Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram when the delegation led by senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and complained about the “partisan and unconstitutional conduct” of Mr. Bhardwaj, urging Dr. Singh to reject his report.
Mr. Advani told journalists outside the Prime Minister's residence that the delegation also demanded the “immediate recall” of Mr. Bhardwaj for repeatedly indulging in ‘unconstitutional' acts.
“We told Dr. Singh that when the Governor makes a recommendation after meeting him and other leaders at the Centre, it raises doubts about the role of the Union government,” Mr. Advani said.
Asked about Dr. Singh's response to the recall demand, he said the Prime Minister gave the delegation a patient hearing.
Yes, right spirit, Governor H.R. Bhardwaj should be contained or he will bring one more headache to the UPA Government. The C.M.s continued support of the majority to be decided on the floor of the Assembly and not at the Raj Bhavan.
