Kumaraswamy  

While Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy was asked to prove majority in the Assembly on Thursday (July 18), he refused despite the Governor's intervention. When we thought the floor test would happen on Friday, the House adjourned without a trust vote despite two deadlines by the Governor

After the floor test was postponed, BJP Karnataka chief BS Yeddyurappa said that Monday will be the last day of the Kumaraswamy government in Karnataka.

For the second day in succession, the Karnataka Assembly was adjourned, following the pleas by Congress MLAs. Though the governor had asked the chief minister to prove his majority at 1:30 pm and later again at 6pm, the CM did not pay heed.

Seeking quashing of the Governor’s order to prove his majority by 1: 30 pm today (July 19) the coalition government has approached the Supreme Court. 

Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Thursday (July 18) moved the confidence motion in the state Assembly with the 14-month old Congress-JDS government headed by him hanging by a thread after a rebellion by a section of ruling coalition lawmakers. Governor’s letter has forced both parties to approach the Supreme Court for clarity

After the House witnessed massive protest by the Karnataka coalition government over the Supreme Court’s seemingly confusing order on parties issuing whips, it was adjourned to Friday (July 19). The House also saw constant filibustering with an obvious intent to buy more time.

The apex court's decision, which all analysts agree is well merited and balanced, has clearly put the Karnataka ruling dispensation in an unenviable situation.

The political thriller in Karnataka is getting exciting with the coalition meeting the Speaker to push the trust vote, while the opposition wants it to be held as quickly as possible. The judges had cut short the time to prove majority by the then chief minister BS Yeddyurappa last year from 2 weeks to 24 hours as the coalition knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court at night.
