‘BJP will parade MLAs in Rashtrapati Bhavan’

Neena Vyas

NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party is hoping that the democratic spirit will prevail in Goa and it will be allowed to form a Government since it now has a majority. If necessary, the party would parade its MLAs in Rashtrapati Bhavan, BJP president Rajnath Singh said here on Friday.

Even as Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the constitutional process must be allowed to take its time, the BJP appeared restless with its central party leaders here demanding that its chief ministerial aspirant Manohar Parrikar be immediately invited by Governor S.C. Jamir to take the oath of office.

BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said his party now had the support of 21 MLAs in the 40-member Assembly. He charged the Congress with “running away from the Assembly, which was in session on Thursday but was adjourned abruptly”. A floor test could not be put off indefinitely, he said.

Mr. Singh said that in Jharkhand and Bihar, the Congress had shown ‘scant regard’ for democracy. He said the ruling party at the Centre did not ‘believe in healthy democratic values.’ Therefore it may become necessary for the BJP to parade its MLAs in Rashtrapati Bhavan.
