My Dear Bakshi Sahib,

I have just dissolved the cabinet which functioned till today and have relieved it of the powers and functions of civil administration of the State. I, however, feel that a new Cabinet
should be constituted immediately so as to avoid a political and administrative vacuum.

In the task of forming a new Ministry, I have decided told seek your aid and advice. Will you, therefore, make it con-venient to meet me immediately so that we might discuss the formation and composition of the new Cabinet?

I need hardly and that the continuance in office of the new Cabinet will depend upon its securing a vote of confidence from the Legislative Assembly during its coming session.

    Yours sincerely,
    (Sd/-) Karan Singh.
