Uttarakhand floor test on Tuesday, 9 rebel Cong MLAs banned from test

May 06, 2016 13:28

Just in: the Uttarakhand floor test will be held on Tuesday. The morning, the Centre agreed to a floor test which will take place under the Supreme Court's supervision. The Supreme Court has banned nine rebel Congress MLAs from the Floor Test.

Attorney General Mukuk Rohatgi said the floor test will be held in a few days after modalities are worked out. Uttarakhand is under President's Rule for the last two months and the floor test could possibly end the deadlock that has put the state in disarray.

Accepting the suggestion made by the Attorney General, the division bench said that if the government does decide to hold a floor test, it would subserve the cause of democracy.
