Karnataka Crisis | Congress-JD(S) Govt To Face Trust Vote On Thursday, Says Siddaramaiah

Discussion on vote of confidence will be taken up on Thursday at 11 am in Karnataka Assembly, says Congress leader Siddaramaiah

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will disrupt the Karnataka Assembly session if Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy doesn't move a trust vote to prove he still has numbers in his favour to run the Congress-JD(S) coalition, a party official said on Monday.

"Since Kumaraswamy boasted on July 12 that he would seek trust vote to prove that he still has majority, we will request the Speaker (K.R. Ramesh Kumar) to list it in the business as the only or main subject at the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting later in the day," BJP spokesperson G. Madhusudana told IANS.

The Speaker is scheduled to convene the BAC meeting before the session resumes in the afternoon.
