Congress to Meet Haryana Governor Claiming BJP Govt has Lost Majority

Chandigarh: The leaders of the Congress party plan to meet the Haryana Governor on Friday claiming that the BJP government in the state is no longer having a majority.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claimed that the Haryana government has lost its majority and President’s rule should be imposed in the state.

“I think the Haryana Government has clearly lost its majority when the 3 independent MLAs withdrew their support. It’s the right case for the President’s Rule. This horse-trading that the BJP will do, the ‘Operation Lotus’ that they will do. They have been doing this in different political parties for the last 10 years. But it is very clear that the BJP’s days in Haryana are numbered,” Jairam Ramesh told ANI.

On May 7, three independent MLAs withdrew support from the BJP’s Nayab Saini government. All of them extended support to the Congress.

However, the BJP’s former chief minister Manhora Lal Khattar claimed that the government in Haryana was not in danger as several leaders of the Congress and the JJP were in touch with his party.

In the House of 90 in Haryana, the BJP has 39 MLAs, the Congress has 30, the Jan Nayak Janata Party has 10, the Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP) has one, and the Indian National Lok Dal has one, along with seven Independents.
