Bengaluru: Newly sworn-in Karnataka chief minister Yeddyurappa will have to take a Supreme Court-ordered floor test by 4pm on Saturday to confirm whether he enjoys the majority in the 224-member House he claimed in a letter to the governor. Both BJP’s Yeddyurappa and former CM Siddaramaiah, the leader of the Congress legislature party, say they are confident of their numbers.
Two Congress MLAs Anand Singh and Pratap Gowda Patil have not yet come to the assembly for oath-taking, reports agency.
Congress leader Veerapa Moily says the BJP will be exposed. “They know very well that they are 104, still they are trying everything and anything to buy our MLAs. But, our MLAs are intact. Two of our MLAs are still not here, whenever they come they will surely support us,”
