This ordinance is nothing but Narendra Modi government's sinister conspiracy to obstruct and annul implementation of public welfare schemes and programmes, funds for which were allotted in the budget," said Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala."The Congress party condemns the legislative dishonesty of the BJP government to deny genuine developmental aspirations of people of Uttarakhand by first proroguing parliament and then following the ordinance route to perpetuate illegalities," he added.
