Congress to meet Governor today, Alleges BJP has lost majority in Haryana

Congress party official Jairam Ramesh claims that current Haryana administration no longer holds the majority support it once did

In the provided paragraph, the phrase “Congress to meet Governor” is absent. However, I can still assist in restructuring the sentence to include this keyword:

“The Congress party is set to meet the Haryana Governor, with the intent of asserting that the current BJP-led state government has lost its legislative majority.”

Big Blow to the State Government

On May 7th, the ruling coalition in Haryana suffered a significant setback when three independent MLAs withdrew their support from Chief Minister Nayab Saini’s administration. Consequently, the government lost its majority in the assembly. The MLAs who withdrew their support are Randhir Golan, Dharmpal Gonder, and Sombir Singh Sangwan, and they have pledged their support to the Congress party.

Congress to Meet Governor Amidst Claims of Majority Loss

Despite the recent developments, the BJP is still hopeful of retaining control. Ex-Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has indicated that members from both the Congress and the JJP have been in contact with the BJP.

The Congress highlighted in its memo, “It is crystal clear that 30 (Congress) +10 (Jannayak Janta Party)+1 (INLD)+3 (Independents who withdrew support) +1 (Independent Balraj Kundu) = 45 MLAs are opposing this government which is more than the 43 MLAs now supporting the Haryana government.” “This shows that this government has lost the confidence of the majority of the MLAs in the present House,” it also stated.

The Congress MLA, Batra, also stated that the party does not currently intend to form the government. “We are demanding the dismissal of this government and holding of fresh elections under the President’s rule. We will go to people and seek their mandate. We will not form a government in this scenario,” he remarked.

The President’s rule must be imposed “so that no horse trading takes place”, Batra also said, as quoted by PTI.
