Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today slammed Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala for "subverting' the Constitution by inviting the BJP to form the government in the southern state. Labelling Vala an "RSS Governor', the chief minister said democratic polity of India had been "massacred to serve the desire and will' of Vala's "political masters' in the BJP.


"It was shocking the way the Governor had given time to the BJP to break the opposition and resort to horsetrading. (But) What else do you expect from an RSS Governor," he told the media. He described the entire episode as "unfortunate", and said the developments in the last 24 hours were extremely dangerous for the country.


"We do not want India to become like Pakistan, where democracy is subverted by dictators and the Army every step of the way," he said. Citing the examples of Goa and Manipur where governments were formed by majority post-poll alliances due to hung verdicts, Singh said the entire nation wanted an answer from the Karnataka Governor.
