Dear Editor,
The uncalled developments in Uttarakhand erupted since 18th March 2016, with the imposition of President Rule on 27th March 2016, ultimately concluded with the installation of Harish Rawat as Chief Minister after winning a trust vote, after intervention by the Apex Court of the country. The row in the Uttarakhand although over but, it has given too many, to comment upon the BJP government in the center. It remained a hot topic till winning of vote of confidence that in Uttarakhand NDA Government un-lawfully misused the constitutional provision to dethrone the democratically elected government. In order to understand the bad intentions of the BJP, one has to revisit the pre-election era of rallies and public addresses by BJP leaders especially by then PM probable candidate Modi. In every election rally it was very loudly aired that BJP will make India a Congress free India. By exploiting the people emotionally with lucrative commitments, the BJP came to power, but people very soon realised their folly, for falling to the trap of charismatic orator Modi, when the party president Amit Shah during Bihar elections termed the promise of Modi, about Rs 15 lack in individual account as ‘Election Jumla’ and u-turn on so many other promises. The BJP expecting a thumping majority in Delhi by-elections by utilising all resources both money and men failed to register its presence in Delhi Assembly by double digit and was reduced to countable on fingers that too not on all four fingers and subsequently crushing defeat in Bihar. These two defeats immediately after a thumping victory in Lok Sabha frustrated the over ambitious BJP and to obtain power chairs in J and K, it went on alliance with PDP against whom it has fielded its candidates all over the State, against its big slogans of not tolerating ‘Baap Bete aur Baap Beti ki Sarkar’ in first stint and later on fell flat before PDP for re-alliance and as is said in Jammu circle, it almost went for begging of power with PDP. In Uttarakhand BJP decided to leverage the dissent within the Congress against Rawat, as a stepping stone to trying to form government in the hill state resulting revolt against the Chief Minister by nine MLAs of ruling party. The un-constitutional move of BJP government in Uttarakhand was nothing but its power hungry intentions and acting against the democratic set of rules, it imposed President Rule to govern the state through backdoor channels, but the judiciary which is custodian of the Constitution thwarted the move of BJP and it totally exposed the true face of BJP government led by none else than Modi, who is always propagating himself as true law abiding PM of India and promising to give a corruption free and people friendly government. The blow of Uttarakhand is enough, as it has not exposed the real face of BJP government at the national level but also on the international level. The comments from various political parties are eminent and Rahul Gandhi has taken the lead and commented that PM should learn the lesson. Arun Jaitley on 12th May commented that the judiciary encroaching upon legislative and executive authority, “Step by step, brick by brick, the edifice of India’s Legislature is being destroyed”, Jaitley said in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. The remarks came on a day when the Supreme Court reinstated Harish Rawat as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, following the Congress’ victory in the floor test in the Assembly. How frustrated these ministers are can be well adjudged that they have come up to criticise the Judiciary also.
