All our MLAs are with us: Uttarakhand CM

March 23, 2014 14:05

Amid rumours that his government was facing the crisis of being reduced to a minority with Congress MLAs loyal to Satpal Maharaj likely to follow their leader and quit the party, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat today said all his MLAs were with him.

"There is no crisis. The entire legislature party and all legislators who were with us from the beginning are still with us," Rawat told reporters when asked whether the MP's resignation from Congress would cast its shadow on the fate of his government.

Soon after Maharaj quit Congress and joined the BJP, speculation became rife in the city that the MLAs in Uttarakhand Assembly loyal to him might follow suit, reducing the fledgling Harish Rawat government sworn in to a minority.
