The Haryana Cabinet has been summoned for a meeting on May 15, amidst political turmoil triggered by three Independent MLAs withdrawing their support to the State’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
According to sources, the Cabinet is likely to decide to convene a session of the State Assembly to prove the government’s majority. After the withdrawal of support by the three Independents, the government appears to be in the minority, with the backing of only 43 MLAs. The 90-member State Assembly currently has an effective strength of only 88, which means that the BJP needs the support of 45 MLAs for a majority.
