Constitutional and Political Crisis Deepens in Arunachal

Arunachal Pradesh is witnessing a bizarre turn of political events.

In a bizarre turn of events, Opposition BJP and rebel Congress MLAs on Thursday got together in a local hotel to “vote out” the Nabam Tuki-led Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh and to “elect” a rebel Congress MLA as the new “chief minister”. The dramatic development came a day after they “impeached” Speaker Nabam Rebia in a makeshift “Assembly” premises in a community hall.
