New Delhi: BJP today questioned the motive behind Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj's letter to the Chief Minister asking him to prove his majority again in the Assembly, but deferred a decision on the issue saying it would take a call after discussing it with party MLAs.
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley raised objections to the Governor's letter questioning the 'verdict' of the Assembly during the trust vote and questioned his authority to do so.
Jaitley was talking to reporters after one round of the Core Group meeting of BJP.
"In his letter, the Governor uses the word farcical...the Governor has completely lost his authority and cannot be the custodian of the Constitution. He should be recalled immediately by the Centre," Jaitley said.
