BSY given one weeks time to prove majority in assembly

Bengaluru: Governor Vajubhai Vala on Friday directed BJP State President BS Yeddyurappa that after taking charge as the CM of the state he will have one week to prove majority in the assembly.
It may be recalled that, in May 2018 after the assembly elections, the Governor had given 15-days’ time to Yeddyurappa to prove majority in the assembly after which the Congress and JD(S) had objected against it and had knocked the doors of Supreme Court for its intervention.
Yeddyurappa for the last couple of days had been waiting for “instructions” from the party high command to stake claim to form the government after the Congress-JDS coalition government had collapsed after the floor test on Tuesday.
A group of Karnataka BJP leaders, including Jagdish Shettar, Arvind Limbavali, J C Madhuswamy, Basavaraj Bommai and Yeddyurappa’s son Vijayendra Thursday had met party chief Amit Shah in New Delhi and reportedly discussed the government formation.
Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar on Thursday had disqualified three rebel Congress MLAs under the anti-defection law.
The 14-month-old Congress-JDS coalition government headed by Kumaraswamy collapsed on Tuesday after losing the vote of confidence in the Assembly in a climax to the three-week long intense power struggle.
