== 2016 Assembly suspension ==
 
In March 2016, capping a nine-day high-voltage political drama, the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]-led [[Government of India|Union Government]] brought Uttarakhand under [[President's rule]] citing a [[constitutional breakdown]] in the wake of a rebellion in then state-ruling [[Indian National Congress]], which slammed the decision calling it a "murder of democracy" and a "black day".
 
[[President of India|President]] [[Pranab Mukherjee]] signed the proclamation under [[Article 356 of the Constitution of India|Article 356]] of the [[Constitution of India]] dismissing the INC-ruled [[Government of Uttarakhand|State Government]], the [[Chief Minister of Uttarakhand|Chief Minister]] [[Harish Rawat]] and placing the Assembly under suspended animation on the recommendation of the [[Union Council of Ministers|Union Cabinet]].
 
The Union Government was of the view that continuance of the [[Harish Rawat ministry|Rawat government]] was "immoral and unconstitutional" after 18 March 2016, when the [[Speaker of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly|Uttarakhand Assembly Speaker]] declared the [[appropriation bill]] "passed" in controversial circumstances without allowing a [[Division of the assembly|division]] pressed for by 35 MLAs, including 9 rebel Congress legislators.
 
The Union Cabinet had held an emergency meeting on Saturday night presided over by [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Narendra Modi]], who had cut short a visit to [[Assam]] to return to the [[New Delhi]] for the purpose.
 
The Cabinet considered several reports received from [[Governor of Uttarakhand|Governor]] [[Krishan Kant Paul]], who had described the political situation as volatile and expressed apprehensions over possible pandemonium during the scheduled [[Floor test|trial of strength]] in the Assembly on Monday.
 
The purported CD of the [[sting operation]] conducted against the Chief Minister that was in public domain on Saturday was understood to have been factored into the decision of the Cabinet which found it as a case of [[Vote trading|horse trading]].
 
Additionally Two Uttarakhand MLAs, one each from Indian National Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party were on 9 June suspended for [[cross-voting]] during the floor test that was held on 10 May. [[Speaker of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly|Speaker]] [[Govind Singh Kunjwal]] suspended BJP MLA [[Bhim Lal Arya]] and INC MLA [[Rekha Arya]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://english.pradesh18.com/news/uttarakhand/two-uttarakhand-mlas-suspended-for-cross-voting-during-trust-vote-897075.html|title=Two Uttarakhand MLAs suspended for cross-voting during trust vote|website=english.pradesh18.com|access-date=2 February 2020|date=9 June 2016}}</ref>
