Press Statement

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued
the following statement:

No To President's Rule In Orissa

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly opposes the demand to impose
President's rule in Orissa. The Congress leadership has met the Governor
with this demand. The Congress party has thus teamed up with the BJP to
demand the dismissal of the Naveen Patnaik government.

With the withdrawal of support by the BJP to the Naveen Patnaik
government, the Governor had asked the Chief Minister to prove his
majority on the floor of the house. In the assembly, the motion of
confidence was passed by a voice vote. There is no basis, therefore, for
the Governor to recommend President's rule.

The CPI(M) warns the UPA government that it should not resort to any
such blatant partisan measure.
