BJP asks for floor test in Madhya Pradesh

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh BJP Saturday submitted a memorandum to Governor Lalji Tandon demanding a floor test, by division of votes and not voice vote, before the budget session begins Monday.

The Congress-led Kamal Nath government is on the brink after senior leader Jyotiraditya Scindia revolted and joined the BJP, and several of the latter’s supporter MLAs tendered their resignations.

Speaking to reporters after meeting Tandon, senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “We have submitted a memorandum to the governor.


Twenty-two MLAs have resigned. They have confirmed their resignations by issuing videos. Now, the Kamal Nath government is in minority and does not have the constitutional right to continue. We have said there is no meaning to the governor’s address, no meaning of the budget session. So, before the budget session, there should be a floor test.”
