Mysore/Mysuru: Terming the nomination of senior BJP leader A.H. Vishwanath to the Karnataka Legislative Council as illegal, K.R.Nagar JD(S) MLA S.R.Mahesh has urged the Governor not to administer oath to Vishwanath.
Speaking to presspersons at his office near Ramavilas road here this morning, Mahesh, who is also a former Minister, said that the Supreme Court in a ruling in connection with a disqualification petition (WP-992/2019), has clearly said that a disqualified Legislator must again get elected from the people to re-enter the House and not be nominated at any point of time during the entire tenure of the Government in power. But the ruling BJP Government, as a reward to Vishwanath for pulling down the coalition Government, has nominated him to the Legislative Council in violation of the SC ruling, he maintained.
