With the Centre seeking more time from the Supreme Court to give its opinion on the feasibility ofholding a floor test in Uttarakhand Assembly, Congress today accused the Modi government of dragging its feet on the case as it does not want the hill state to get justice.
"It seems they (Centre) don't want Uttarakhand to get justice and only prevaricating on the case," Pradesh Congress Committee President Kishore Upadhyay told reporters here.
"However, we have full faith in the judiciary and we are sure we will get justice. The ill intentions of BJP will be defeated in the Supreme court also as they were in the high court which revoked imposition of president's rule in the state," he said.
The Supreme Court today accepted the plea of the Centre that two more days be given to it to respond to its suggestion about the feasibility of holding a floor test in Uttarakhand Assembly under its supervision.
The apex court posted the matter for hearing on Friday after Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said he has conveyed in right earnest the court's suggestion which is under serious consideration by the government.
