Congress On Uttarakhand Budget Bill

As Congress won the Uttarakhand confidence motion, its party members in the Rajya Sabha today resisted the move to present the state's budget Bill by the government which insisted that it was a Constitutional necessity.

Congress leader Harish Rawat today said he will hold a 24-hour fast if any attempt is made by the Centre to annul the Appropriation Bill "passed" by the state Assembly on its annual budget for 2016-17 after reports suggested that such a move may be afoot.
