The Congress today launched a fusillade against Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala after he invited the BJP to form the government in the state, dubbing him a stooge of the NDA major and accusing him of encountering Constitution at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.
The Karnataka Governor is acting as a stooge of the BJP. He has ashamed the office of the governor by inviting the BJP to form government and allow its leader B S Yeddyurappa to take oath as chief minister, he told reporters.
Surjewala questioned Vala's decision to invite the BJP, which he alleged did not have requisite numbers to form the government.
The BJP has 104 MLAs, that is, nine short of simple majority. The Congress-JD(S) combine on the other hand has claimed to have adequate numbers and had requested the governor to allow the coalition to form the government in the southern state.
The governor has encountered Constitution at the behest of Modi and Shah calling an 'immoral and illegal' government to be sworn-in as the 'illegitimate child' cannot sustain the scrutiny of Constitution and test of law, the Congress leader said.
