Congress, BJP war of words over Prez rule

Charging Speaker Kunjwal with forgetting his constitutional responsibilities and acting as a “political tool” in the hands of Harish Rawat, state BJP President Ajay Bhatt said, he doctored Assembly documents at the former Chief Minister’s behest in the dead of night to suit his political ends. “If a CBI inquiry is ordered, both of them will be in the dock,” Bhatt told at a press conference.

“Rawat-Kunjwal duo violated the Constitution and Rules of Conduct of Business of the House. Neither of them can stand scrutiny, “ Bhatt said. 

Meanwhile, the Congress has accused that the Modi Government at the Centre was acting in despair in the wake of fall in popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and it was usurping power by overturning people’s mandate in states like Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The Congress also charged the PM and his cabinet with hatching a conspiracy to desecrate the constitution. 

“PM Modi knows about his rising unpopularity, so he is usurping power by overturning people’s mandate”, the party said in a note last night. “Modi and his Cabinet hatched a conspiracy to desecrate the most venerable book of the Indian Republic — our Constitution. 

The recent State elections in Delhi, Bihar have shown that the people are seeing through the empty words of the PM and his politics of lies and hate,” it said in the note.
