Congress in Arunachal Pradesh has accused Governor J P Rajkhowa of conspiring to help the dissident MLAs form a government with the support of BJP without waiting for the decision of the Supreme Court which is hearing petitions challenging imposition of President’s rule in the state.
Geetartha Darshan Barua, spokesperson for CLP leader and deposed chief Minister Nabam Tuki, said deputy speaker T N Thongdok, who is in the dissident camp, has sought the opinion of the state Law Department through the Governor asking if he can function as deputy speaker performing the duties of speaker when President’s Rule is in place in the state.
Following Thongdok’s letter, the Governor sought a report from the law department on the subject.
Barua further alleged that the governor is guided by malafide intention and he had taken all decisions keeping in mind vested interests, adding, their final aim is to lodge a government with the help of BJP without waiting for the Supreme Court order.
