Look at the Prayer, apart from the fact that none of them have the FR.

Now see Art. 361, the President or Governor shall not be answerable to any court

On hand, you say public wants a government. Other hand you say government formation was wrong. You did not do anything for so many days. Governor was shown satisfaction of MLAs. He formed a government

Mukul Rohatgi for BJP MLAs

Three things I have to say:

1. Correct procedure should be that parties should be allowed to contest. If you’re not willing to form a government, then the party who is should be allowed.

Governor is not a party. He’s not a party in the entire compilation. A floor test is a constitutional obligation of democracy. This does not require any notice or counter.

How is it possible for anyone who yesterday claims majority to shy away from a floor test today ?

41 people signed in the afternoon. He did not have the support of NCP. Democracy functions on numbers and majority. It is not possible for the Governor to have exercised this function.
