Tuki currently has only 15 MLAs with him as 43 MLAs were paraded by rebel Congressmen and former CM Kalikho Pul

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki on Friday asked for more time from the Governor to prove his majority, a day after the Supreme Court restored the Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh.

"I met the governor and requested for more time. Some MLAs are not available due to monsoon session and its a very short notice," Tuki said after the meeting.

Immediately after the SC verdict quashing the President's rule in the state, acting Governor Tathagata Roy on Thursday asked Nabam Tuki to prove his majority on the floor of the House by July 16.

Tuki currently has only 15 MLAs with him as 43 MLAs were paraded by rebel Congressmen and former CM Kalikho Pul in a show of strength during a press conference in Guwahati.

In a house of 60, BJP claims the support of 43 MLAs.
