In an intensified bid to dethrone the BJP-led government in Haryana, the Congress and Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) have approached Governor Bandaru Dattatreya after the ruling party lost its majority in the state Assembly.
The 90-member Haryana Assembly at present has an effective strength of 88 with Karnal and Rania Assembly seats being vacant. The BJP has 40 MLAs, the Congress 30 and the JJP 10. The Indian National Lok Dal and Haryana Lokhit Party have one member. There are six Independents.
The Congress on Thursday sought time to meet the Governor in the wake of the situation arising out of three Independent MLAs withdrawing support to the BJP government.
Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda demanded the "minority" dispensation should resign on moral grounds.
Seeking time for its delegation to meet on Friday, the Congress letter to the Governor's office said the party wants to present a memorandum regarding the present political situation in the state.
It said that a Congress delegation led by Deputy CLP leader Aftab Ahmed, and B B Batra, chief whip CLP, and other Congress leaders wanted to meet the Governor on May 10.
