Youth Cong stages stir against Centre over Maha political impasse

Indian Youth Congress (IYC) activists on Monday led a protest in Parliament premises against the BJP's move to form the government in Maharashtra as senior leaders from the opposition party raised slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They also burnt the effigy of PM during the protest.

New Delhi: Indian Youth Congress (IYC) activists staged a demonstration near the Parliament House on Monday against the BJP-led Centre over the alleged 'illegal and undemocratic' manner of government formation in Maharashtra.

There were several questions over the manner in which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staked claim for power and was allowed to form government in Maharashtra and it was clear that rules and democratic norms were violated, IYC president Srinivas BV said.

While speaking to ETV Bharat over the matter, IYC General Secretary Amrish Ranjan Pandey said, "This proves that BJP wants to indulge in horse-trading in the state. They know that majority is with us. Their intentions will be unmasked and we believe that the Supreme Court will give justice to us."

The IYC protestors have also burnt the effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi while raising slogans against the BJP government in the Centre.

Hearing a plea moved by the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine against the Maharashtra Governor's decision to swear-in BJP's Devendra Fadnavis as chief minister, the Supreme Court on Monday said it will give its order in the matter on Tuesday.
