Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki on Friday said ‘his popularly elected government is stable’, and alleged that the crisis was created by Governor JP Rajkhowa.
“It’s a popularly elected government. There is no crisis from our side, it is created by the Governor,” he said.
A no-confidence motion was moved by 11 BJP MLAs and two Independents on Thursday, which was adopted by Deputy Speaker T Norbu Thongdok, a ‘rebel Congressman’ in the Chair. As many as 33 members of the 60-member House, including 20 Congress dissidents, later elected Kalikho Pul, another Congressman dissident, as the new Chief Minister.
Chief Minister Tuki and 26 MLAs supporting him boycotted the proceedings, dubbing as “illegal and unconstitutional”.
