New Delhi: Reacting strongly to the Nainital High Court order on 9 Congress rebel MLAs, Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu on Monday said that 'it is a joke on democracy'.

"Now, the new method is you disqualify the dissenters and then hold floor test. What is this 'tamasha'? It is a joke on democracy," the Union Minister for Urban Development, Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation, Parliamentary Affairs said.

"What is happening in Uttarakhand is 'naya loktantra' followed by 'kutantra' of the Congress party," Venkaiah Naidu alleged.
