Kamal Nath forwards Madhya Pradesh governor's letter calling for floor test to Speaker, but terms directive 'unconstitutional'

Firstpost  

Nath reiterated that 16 MLAs of the Congress are currently in “captivity” of BJP leaders in Bengaluru either in a resort or hotel where nobody is allowed to meet them. Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Tuesday forwarded to Speaker of the Assembly a fresh directive given to him by state Governor Lalji Tandon on holding a floor test. In his latest letter to the governor on Tuesday, the chief minister said, “Taking into account all the facts, I have forwarded your direction given to me to the Assembly Speaker for an appropriate action.” Nath and Tandon have been locked in a “letter war” since the governor directed the chief minister on Saturday to hold a floor test on 16 March. On Monday evening, Tandon wrote to Nath to hold a floor test on Tuesday, stating that the failure to do so will mean that the chief minister does not enjoy majority in the House. The governor’s direction to Nath to hold a floor test on 16 March came in the wake of resignations given by 22 MLAs of the ruling Congress last week.
