Terming the Uttrakhand High Court order setting aside President's rule in the state as a "huge embarrassment" to the Narendra Modi Government, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said the Prime Minister should stop "interfering with elected governments and respect democracy".
"This is a huge embarrassment to Modi Govt. He shud stop interfering wid elected govts and respect democracy (sic)," Kejriwal tweeted.
The Uttarakhand High Court today quashed the imposition of President's rule in the state and revived the Congress government headed by Harish Rawat, who has been asked to prove his majority on April 29.

Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh said the High Court order was a "befitting reply" to the Centre's decision of imposing President's rule.
"The Centre needs to think over it (the imposition of Uttarkhand) after the High Court judgment. They tried to do a similar thing in Arunachal Pradesh. But the High Court gave its judgment against a dictatorial government.
"The country also needs to think whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become a threat to the world's largest democracy," Singh said.
Singh also raised concerns over a possible horse-trading ahead of floor test on April 29.
