Oppn parties approach Haryana Gov, step up effort to topple BJP govt

Chandigarh, NT Bureau: The Congress, the JJP and the INLD have approached Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, stepping up their efforts to topple the Haryana's BJP government after it was reduced to a minority in the state Assembly. In separate letters to the Governor, the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) have sought a floor test in the Assembly.

The Haryana Congress on Thursday sent a letter to the Governor's office seeking time on Friday to meet him and present a memorandum on the present political situation in the state.

On Wednesday, JJP leader Dushyant Chautala wrote to the governor, saying the Saini government no longer commands a majority and there should be an immediate floor test.

The INLD's Abhay Singh Chautala also wrote to the Governor on Thursday, stating that "in view of the fact that the BJP government has lost its majority, the party demands that the government should be immediately asked to convene the Vidhan Sabha to hold a floor test to prove that it still enjoys its confidence".
