Uttarakhand crisis: NO relief to disqualified MLAs from SC

May 09, 2016 16:39

This will certainly boost Harish Rawat's chances tomorrow during the floor test as the apex court has rejected the rebels' plea, which means they will remain disqualified for the vote tomorrow. Earlier today, the high court dismissed the petition of nine Congress MLAs challenging their disqualification by the Speaker.

The judgment will make the Bharatiya Janata Party's task difficult in the confidence vote to be sought by Rawat on Tuesday as it will be left with only 28 MLAs including Bhim Lal Arya whose loyalty to the party is in doubt. Though suspended by the BJP Arya continues to represent the party in the House.
