Karnataka: As Things Stand, Congress-JD(S) Set To Lose Trust Vote; BJP Has Required Numbers To Form Govt
B S Yeddyurappa (Zee News)
As things stand, the Congress-JD(S) coalition government does not have the required numbers to win the trust vote on the floor of the state assembly and the BJP has the support of enough MLAs to form a new government.
Going by the numbers, 20 MLAs are missing from the state assembly including 15 rebels, two independents, two Congress MLAs and one BSP MLA. Earlier it was reported that a BJP MLA was missing as well but he seems to have turned up eventually.
Reports have suggested that the Congress-JD(S) coalition is attempting to delay the house proceedings to avoid going for a trust vote till Friday. In this scenario, the ruling coalition would get time till the weekend in an attempt to win over the rebel MLAs.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
