Hyderabad: The BJP today said Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao s efforts to forge a non-Congress non-BJP front is a knee-jerk reaction to poll results in the three north-eastern states and will not pose a political challenge to the party or the NDA.BJP spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao said his party getting a massive mandate in Tripura and forming the government there and in Meghalaya and Nagaland has created a panic in many political parties about the BJP s continued growth. The BJP has expanded from five states in power in 2014 to 21 states now this continued journey is likely to gobble up or is likely to threaten their (many other parties ) own existence. So it s more like a panic-stricken party s call for survival rather than posing a political challenge to the BJP or the NDA he told PTI. It s a knee-jerk reaction to the shocking defeat that the Congress has faced and the spectacular victory that the BJP has achieved (in the three NE states) he claimed.Efforts to stich a non-Congress non-BJP front appeared to be gaining momentum with the Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reaching out to the DMK and Chandrasekhar Rao continuing to receive support for such a proposal.Former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi yesterday spoke to Chandrasekhar Rao over phone and expressed support for the plan to float a Third Front-like formation the Telangana chief minister s office said. CommentsClose X Chandrasekhar Rao the leader of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) had said he was keen to engage himself in national politics to bring about a qualitative change and was in talks with others to form a platform of like-minded parties.Several leaders including Mamata Banerjee AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) have extended support to Rao s proposal according to the TRS.

The regional parties UDP HSPDP and PDF had extended their support to NPP on the condition that Conrad the youngest son of former Lok Sabha Speaker PA Sangma would be chief minister. Conrad who is a non-elected member in the 60-member Assembly was be administered oath of office and secrecy along with his Council of Ministers. He now serves the state s 12th chief minister. The HSPDP however had objected to Conrad Sangma as the next chief minister. A pre-poll alliance was forged between the UDP and HSPDP but they (the UDP) did not consult us when they proposed the name of Conrad Sangma to be chief minister a party official had said. The Congress which emerged as the single largest party with 21 seats in the elections could not stitch a post-poll alliance with the regional parties to retain power. Meghalaya is the second state after Manipur and Goa where the Congress has not been able to forge a post-poll alliance to form a government despite emerging as the largest single party.

NEW DELHI: Nagaland chief minister TR Zeliang on Tuesday resigned from his post ending speculation that the state was heading toward a constitutional crisis. Governor PB Acharya accepted the http://serebryaniy-bereg.ru/user/afplayer/ resignation but requested that he continue in office till alternative arrangements were made reported ANI. Acharya appointed Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) leader Neiphiu Rio the chief minister of Nagaland under clause (1) of Article 164 of the Constitution of India reported ANI. Rio must prove his majority on the floor of the House on or before March 16 2018. After resigning Zeliang told reporters that his party the Naga People s Front (NPF) would play the role of a constructive opposition in the Assembly for the welfare of the state reported PTI. His party the NPF had yesterday justified Zeliang s refusal to quit office saying its effort to form the next government was still on. Efforts are on to cobble up the requisite numbers to form government. So the question of Zeliang resigning at this juncture does not arise an NPF statement had said. Technically before a new chief minister is sworn in the incumbent CM can continue as the caretaker. Both Zeliang and Rio staked claim to form the government in the state and were given two days by Governor Acharya to submit the signatures of the MLAs supporting them. As the constitutional head my duty is to see who has the majority and call him to form the new government. Whoever brings the signatures of more than 30 elected members I will accept Acharya had said. The polls in Nagaland delivered a hung mandate with the ruling NPF winning 26 seats of the 60 seats in the Assembly the BJP 12 the NDPP 18 the National People s Party (NPP) two and the JD(U) and and Independent one each.
