Anand Sharma said that now that the legislators had voted, the verdict was very clear.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley referred to the nine disqualified MLAs in the Rajya Sabha.

The numbers were absolutely clear. At that time, those nine members who have been disqualified were voting members.

Meanwhile, celebrations began outside Harish Rawat’s house as he addressed supporters.

Humne kabhi kalpana nhi ki thi Uttarakhand mein dal-badal se sarkar giraayi jayegi. (I never imagined that abandoning sides is capable of toppling governments in Uttarakhand.)

Won’t comment on what happened inside. Clouds of uncertainty will soon vanish. I thank SC, democratic forces, people of Uttarakhand and gods. Uttarakhand will be victorious tomorrow.
Thank you to the people of Uttarakhand, the court and all lawmakers.
