Mumbai: Assembly Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar said on Friday that HD Kumaraswamy, in view of the decision to get trust vote, said that slot would be allotted whenever the Karnataka Chief Minister opted for it.
The speaker told reporters here, “The Chief Minister has said of his mind that he would not cling to power amid the confusion. He said he will seek the trust of the House.”
“Whenever he tells me that he wants to move the trust motion, the very next day I will put it in the business of the day,” he added.
In view of the resignation of three Congress MLAs and 13 JD (S) MLAs, on Friday, they took time to embrace the Chief Minister and move the vote of trust in the House.
Also, two independent legislators withdrew their support from the government and alliances with the BJP.
While expressing condolences, the Chief Minister said on the question about the justification behind seeking trust, that the questions should be kept by Mr Kumaraswamy.
“I think it can be heard because he had said that he will not stick to the power in the current situation. I can not say that I will listen to him today, he only informed me that on a certain day he believed will search.” Ramesh Kumar said, “My job will be to include it in the business listing of the day.”
The resignation has pushed the Congress-JD (S) coalition government into the state.
If the resignation is accepted, the Congress and JD (S) alliance will have 100 members, while the BJP will have 107 MLAs.
The total strength of the ruling coalition is 116 (Congress -78, JD (S) -37 and BSP-1) apart from the President.
