Punjab Government moving Supreme Court over convening Budget Session of State Assembly
The Hindu
Last year too, there had been a squabble between the Governor and the AAP Government over holding a session of the Punjab Assembly
The Punjab Government has been "forced" to move the Supreme Court over the issue of summoning the Budget Session of the State Assembly as the Governor is not responding to the Cabinet's decision in this regard, Aam Aadmi Party national spokesperson Raghav Chadha said on Sunday.
The AAP leader said the matter will be mentioned in the apex court on Monday morning.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also said his government now has to move the apex court for calling the Budget Session of State Assembly and alleged that the Governors appointed by the Centre are "acting as star campaigners of the saffron party in the respective States".
The tussle between Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had worsened Thursday with Mr. Purohit indicating he is in no hurry to summon the Assembly's Budget Session, and reminding the CM about his "derogatory" response to a letter from Raj Bhavan.
Mr. Purohit's letter to CM Mann had come two days after the Punjab Cabinet decided to call the Assembly session from March 3 and requested the Governor to summon the House.
"On 22nd Feb 2023, the Punjab Cabinet asks the Punjab Governor to summon the Budget Session of the Assembly from 3rd March 2023.
"On 23rd Feb 2023, Punjab Governor says he needs to take legal advice on that. Till date Governor not reverted on this issue," Chadha said on Twitter.
