After siphoning the power in Uttarakhand Assembly, the Congress on Wednesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should learn a lesson and not commit such a blunder again.
Congress leader Rajeev Shukla told ANI, "The Supreme Court had to take a final view on the results of Uttarakhand floor test and whatever the Central government had done with Uttarakhand they had to withdraw it."
"The Centre had committed a mistake, falconry, a blunder by imposing president rule there, by toppling the elected government there that was totally unfair. It was a bad attempt which they made.
Finally they had to eat the humble pie and I think in future the Central government would not repeat it mistake in another state," he added.
Meanwhile, the BJP said that it has faced many hurdles and this was a very small issue for them.
