BJP demands Rane's dismissal Sandesh Prabhudesai 4 March 2005 The Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded immediate dismissal of Pratapsing Rane government and reinstating Manohar Parrikar government. Soon after Rane won the confidence vote amidst chaos in the House, Parrikar rushed to the Raj Bhavan. "It is a similar situation when my government was dismissed on 2 February. The Governor should act in a similar manner now", said Parrikar. According to Parrikar, Speaker Francisco Sardinha had misused his position to win the trust vote by restraining United Goans Democratic Party Mathany Saldhana from voting. The protem speaker has no right to conduct any other business than moving the trust vote, he argued. Parrikar also clarified that the BJP is not demanding imposition of the President's rule but to reinstate him as the chief minister. "I can prove the majority", he reiterated. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes. London, England
