New Delhi: The Supreme Court this morning ordered that a floor test be conducted at 4 pm tomorrow (May 19) to determine whether the day-old B.S. Yeddyurappa government in Karnataka has the support of the required number of MLAs to continue in the government. The BJP is 8-member short of the 112-majority mark and it has to rack up the numbers.
The SC Bench comprising Justices A.K. Sikri, S.A. Bobde and Ashok Bhushan heard a petition filed by the Congress-JD(S) combine against the decision of Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Rudabhai Vala to invite the BJP to form the government in the State.
