Invoke Article 355 in Maharashtra: Nitish

 

Patna, (Bihar Times): Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday asked the Manmohan Singh government to invoke Article 355 of the Constitution to save the lives of North Indians, especially Biharis, in Maharashtra.

Participating in debate on a thanksgiving motion on Governor’s address to the joint seesion of the Assemly he said that Maharashtra is a fit case for the Centre to issue instruction to prevent the breakdown of constitutional machinery.

If the state government still fails to perform its duty then the Centre should consider the option of invoking Article 356, that is, imposition of President’s Rule, he said.

Nitish also read out his Februrary 6 letter written to the Maharashtra counterpart, Vilas Rao Deshmukh.
