Senior BJP MLAs on Thursday (18 July) accused the Congress of deliberately delaying the Karnataka assembly proceedings in order to buy more time as discussion on trust votes continues, Firstpost has reported.
BJP MLA Jagadish Shettar accused the Congress of misusing the floor of the house and objected to former chief minister Siddaramaiah making a “lengthy” speech. He also urged the speaker to direct Congress legislatures to be more specific in their speeches.
He claimed that the matters being raised by the Congress leaders are fit for election rallies and not Assembly discussions.
Former BJP chief minister B S Yeddyurappa also demanded that the trust vote take place immediately by stressing that there is no need to have prolonged discussions. He added that Kumaraswamy has himself admitted that he does not have the required numbers to retain power.

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.
