Ranjit Rehman said: “The most disappointing aspect is the fact that the law has been amended in the middle of a presidential election year. The government needs to take it up with the Election Commission first.”
In Delhi, BJP president Amit Shah has called the move “undemocratic” and asked if it was not politically motivated. “What was the purpose? It was obviously political,” said BJP spokesman Harsh Vardhan. He said that if Rahul had asked his father directly, he would have told him that only the Centre can ask him to take up a job as chief minister of a state.
Rahul was to take up the job as chief minister of Bihar in May 2015. Now, he needs to be replaced with Sushil Modi as part of the BJP’s plan to cleanse its image to woo voters in Punjab.
