Sack Assam Governor for campaigning for BJP in Rajasthan: TMC, AAP

The Assam units of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have demanded the sacking of the State’s Governor, Gulab Chand Kataria, for allegedly campaigning for the BJP in poll-bound Rajasthan.

“Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria is busy campaigning for BJP in Udaipur, Rajasthan. This is a challenge to democracy, and the Election Commission of India should take action against him. It’s extremely shameful that despite being the custodian of the Constitution, he is campaigning for BJP. He should be immediately sacked from his post,” Ripun Bora, national spokesperson of the TMC, posted on social media platform X.

In a separate statement, he said the Governor’s appeal to vote for the BJP’s Udaipur candidate, Tarachand Jain, was in violation of the model code of conduct. The State unit of the AAP issued a similar statement seeking the removal of Mr. Kataria from his gubernatorial post. 

Neither the Governor nor the Raj Bhavan in Guwahati has reacted to the demand of the two parties.
