Chavan said in the Lok Sabha to-day [December 16, New Delhi] that they had the greatest respect for the decisions of the Speakers’ Conference, that when a Chief Minister’s majority was in doubt the Assembly must be convened within a week to decide the fate of the Ministry, but pleaded ‘helplessness’ to implement them. Mr. Chavan also said that what a Governor should do in a constitutional situation was ‘none of the business of the Central Government’.
