Governor JP Rajkhowa said 31 legislators out of the present strength of 58 supported Mr Kalikho Pul as their leader and staked their claim to form the government.
Arunachal Pradesh has been "suffering badly" in the field of development and maintenance of law and order due to political instability and that there has been a failure of constitutional machinery, Governor JP Rajkhowa had told the Centre days before the state was brought under President's Rule.
He also said he and his family members apprehended "grave danger to their lives" due to public criticism against him and frequent gherao of the Raj Bhawan premises and use of "filthy language".
A month later, in his "special report", Mr Rajkhowa said 31 legislators out of the present strength of 58 supported Mr Kalikho Pul as their leader and staked their claim to form the government.
"Thus, the majority of MLAs have supported Kalikho Pul as the Leader of the House and the next Chief Minister...In view of the foregoing, the Hon'ble President may consider revoking the proclamation imposing the President's Rule so as to enable formation of a democratically elected government enjoying majority in the House..." he said in his report dated February 16.
In his first letter dated January 15, the Governor said Arunachal Pradesh "has been suffering badly in the field of development, delivery of public services, management of state's resources, maintenance of law and order etc due to political instability, more particularly since September-October, 2015, caused by dissidence in the ruling Congress party and consequent chaotic conditions."
He said the "Constitutional machinery has already broken down."
Mr Rajkhowa said in a House of 60 members, the (then) ruling Congress led by (then) Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has support of only 26 legislators including himself and Speaker Nabam Rebia as against the earlier backing of 47 legislators.
The report said 21 "dissident" MLAs openly revolted against Mr Tuki.
The Union Cabinet had recommended imposition of President's Rule in the state on January 24 which was imposed on January 26.
On February 17, the central rule was revoked and Mr Pul sworn in as the new chief minister.
A copy of the proclamation imposing President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh and another revoking it, along with the two reports of the Governor were tabled in both Houses of Parliament today.
