Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Monday that the reason behind dismissing the elected government of the Congress in Uttarakhand was because it was ‘murdering democracy.’
He said, “Complete breakdown of Constitutional machinery,U’khand Govt should have resigned on 18 March with failure of Appropriation Bill. CM (Harish Rawat) started allurement, horse-trading and disqualification with a view to altering the composition of the House. The Congress government of Uttarakhand was murdering democracy every day from the 18th of March till the 27th of March.”
