In a cleverly executed manoeuvre, The Congress Wallahs have saved the day. The plot was hatched well in advance. The only route to prevent the BJP entering through the back door ( since they had expelled Neri) was to perform likewise and remove Mathany. This they knew was questionable but would serve their purpose.
What happens next? Could some Politico pundit kindly inform us the route that will be taken. After President's rule is there a general state election or is it only those seats that are presently vacant, that will be contested? What happens to the the MLA's who might be disqualified for holding office for profit? Will they be able to stand for elections again or are they barred from ever holding office.? BJP Having lost support will no doubt want fresh elections, the Congress on the other hand having the ascendancy will only want bye elections to take place. Hopefully a lot will be unearthed during President's rule and people/persons will get their just fruits. cheers. Gabe Menezes. London England.
