The Congress in Haryana Friday submitted a memorandum to the Governor demanding that the “minority” BJP government in the state be dismissed, President’s Rule be imposed and fresh Assembly elections are ordered.

Senior Congress leader and party chief whip BB Batra, accompanied by Deputy CLP leader Aftab Ahmed, submitted a memorandum addressed to Governor Bandaru Dattatreya regarding the present political situation in the state. Batra said that they handed over the memorandum to the Governor’s secretary as Dattatreya “had left for Telangana for some work.” Asked if Congress will move the court, Batra said, “Governor is the constitutional head, let him first take a decision in the matter”.

Earlier this week, three Independents had withdrawn their support to the Nayab Singh Saini government. Another Independent MLA Balraj Kundu had withdrawn support a couple of years back and is opposed to the current Haryana government, the Congress had earlier said.

The 90-member House at present has an effective strength of 88 with Karnal and Rania Assembly seats being vacant.
