Haryana Cabinet recommends dissolving of Vidhan Sabha

The Haryana Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, here today, recommended the dissolution of the 14th Haryana Vidhan Sabha.

The Cabinet recommendation will now be sent to Governor Bandaru Dattatreya for his nod. He will then request the CM to act as a caretaker government till a new government is elected.

Sources said the Governor us not in station today. This recommendation will be sent to him tomorrow when he returns. Article 174(2)(b) of the Constitution gives the governor power to dissolve the state's Legislative Assembly.

The Tribune was the first to report on Tuesday that a Cabinet meeting had been summoned and a dissolution of the House was on the cards.

The dissolution of the House was necessitated because the government could not hold the “mandatory” Vidhan Sabha session within six months of the last session.
