The Karnataka BJP today welcomed the Supreme Court order on the floor test, asserting that Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa would prove his majority in the Assembly with the support of over 120 MLAs. The Supreme Court today ordered that a floor test be held in the Karnataka Assembly at 4 pm tomorrow to ascertain whether newly-appointed CM enjoys the majority. Here are more details.
Karnataka BJP General Secretary Shobha Karandlaje said, "The BJP under the leadership of Yeddyurappa has worked enough to prove the majority. With confidence, tomorrow at 4 pm, we will prove our majority." Responding to a question as to how the BJP would prove majority, Karandlaje said, "Already many people are in touch with us, more than 120 MLAs are supporting us."
Yeddyurappa was sworn-in as the Chief Minister yesterday. Governor Vajubhai Vala had given 15 days to Yeddyurappa to prove his majority in the Assembly. BJP has only 104 MLAs. The Congress won 78 seats, while the JD(S) was victorious in 37 constituencies. Polling was held in 222 of the state's 224 seats, for which results were declared on May 15, delivering a hung House.
