ITANAGAR: Nabam Tuki, who was restored as the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh by the Supreme Court yesterday, was today asked by the Governor to take a floor test by July 16 to prove his majority in the State Assembly.
However, Tuki, who led a Congress Government that fell in January after the controversial role played by Governor J P Rajkhowa, said that he needed time to face the floor test.
Talking to reporters after attending office, Tuki said he would request the acting Governor Tathagata Roy to defer the proposed floor test as it is “not possible” within a short span of time.
The Governor in a communique informed Tuki that in obedience to the Supreme Court verdict he has been reinstated as chief minister of the State with effect from yesterday.
He also asked the chief minister to call the assembly session immediately and prove his majority in the house by July 16. (AGENCIES)
