Chandrababu Naidu flays Centre for dissolving Jammu and Kashmir Assembly
Sharply reacting to the dissolving of the Jammu Kashmir Assembly by the BJPled NDA government at the Centre, Chief Minister N Chandrababu, in a statement here on Thursday, condemned the BJP regime for its highhanded act of dissolving the Assembly long before its term ends
Amaravati: Sharply reacting to the dissolving of the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, Chief Minister N Chandrababu, in a statement here on Thursday, condemned the BJP regime for its highhanded act of dissolving the Assembly long before its term ends. He said that this was the ultimate act of anti-Constitution by the Modi Administration and against the federal spirit.
Appealing to all the progressive persons and people’s organisations to condemn the act in unison irrespective of party affiliations, the Chief Minister said that it was not proper on the part of the Governor not to respond to the plea of Mehbooba Mufti Sayeed of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to prove her majority as she stated that she had the support of 56 MLAs.
The BJP’s thirst for power betrayed with the withdrawal of support to PDP Government which was formed on April 4, 2016 and imposition of the Governor’s rule and within six months dissolving the Assembly, Chandrababu said.
The BJP government headed by Narendra Modi has been destroying the Centre-state relations and ignoring the recommendations of Sarkaria Commission, he added.
He said that the whole country witnessed how the BJP ignored the people’s verdict in Manipur, Goa and Meghalaya. “The BJP government was formed in Goa though the Congress party emerged the single largest party, but the same tradition was not followed in Karnataka,” he recalled.
Expressing concern over the downfall of constitutional bodies like RBI, CBI, CAG, ED and Income Tax, he said, “ we never witnessed a prime minister who demanded the reserves from the Reserve Bank of India to be transferred to the exchequer.’’
