Not Looking to Stake Claim, Want Early Polls in Uttarakhand: BJP

Talking strategy, a senior BJP leader said the party will not stake claim to form govt but will demand early polls

Ahead of the crucial floor test in Uttarakhand state assembly on Monday, the BJP has indicated it would prefer early polls in Uttarakhand for a legitimate people’s mandate rather than staking claim to form a government now.


This is the ruling party’s game plan according to The Indian Express, which quotes a senior BJP leader involved in the decision-making process that led to the imposition of President’s rule in Congress-ruled Uttarakhand

We are not worried. We are confident and all set to respond to the Congress in the court of law. Let everybody know we have done our homework. Whatever was necessary was done before the government evoked Article 356. In the last four days, a lot has happened that the media was unaware off.
