With the conclusion of the crucial
floor test in the Uttarakhand Assembly today, former chief minster Harish Rawat
in a very optimistic note said that the 'dark clouds' over Uttarakhand would
finally drift away through the Supreme Court's formal announcement tomorrow.
"I thank the Supreme Court
and I am sure that after the decision tomorrow, normalcy will return to the
state as it is a victory for Uttarakhand. I don't want to comment on what
happened inside during the floor test. The details will be revealed tomorrow. I
thank the people of Uttarakhand for showing faith in us," Rawat said.
Congress leader Indira Hridayesh
told ANI about the details of what happened
during the floor test and asserted of a positive outcome for the party.
"We reached early and took
out seats. We had been instructed earlier that those who vote in favour will
sit on the right and those against on the left. After being seated the Speaker
read the entire procedure and then began calling out names of the candidates
who raised their hands indicating their motion. 33 of our candidates cast their
votes in the motion," she said.
Adding that the result of the
floor test was a clear message to the nation and political parties, she
asserted that the BJP could not have been given a more smashing reply as they
had openly indulged in murdering democracy and putting the development of
Uttarakhand on a standstill.
The proceedings of the
floor test were video-graphed and the results of the voting will be placed
before the Supreme Court tomorrow in a sealed cover.
