Congress' Sanjay Nirupam compares Vajubhai Vala to dog

Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam issued a derogatory statement against Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala after BS Yeddyurappa quit as chief minister on Saturday.

Sanjay Nirupam told ANI, "Iss desh mein wafadari ka naya kirtimaan sthaapit kiya hai Vajubhai Vala (#Karnataka Guv) ji ne, ab shayad India ka har aadmi apne kutte ka naam Vajubhai Vala hi rakhega kyunki isse zyada wafaadaar koi ho nahi sakta"

Nirupam said that possibility is high now that every Indian will name their dogs after Vajubhai Vala because of the 'loyalty' he showed towards the BJP as he invited BS Yeddyurappa to form the government on Wednesday.

Governor Vajubhai Vala's decision to invite BS Yeddyurappa to form the government and for allowing him to prove his majority in 15 days was criticised by the Congress. Critics said the period is too long and will encourage horse-trading by the BJP.

Senior lawyer Ram Jethmalani had moved the Supreme Court in his personal capacity against the decision of Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala to invite the BJP to form the government in the state.

"The governor's order is a gross abuse of the constitutional power and this has brought disrepute to the constitutional office he has been holding," Jethmalani submitted while seeking nod to submit his views in the case.
