I have stated the position of the party and we are very sure that at the end of the day, the governor will understand why we had to take the decision we took.
“More importantly, I have no iota of doubt that at the end of the day, the issue will be resolved amicably. Both parties will find a common ground. We have so much respect for him and won’t exchange words with him,” the spokesperson noted.
