The BJP government in Karnataka survived its toughest challenge on Monday as Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa won a trust vote in the Assembly after the Speaker disqualified 16 rebel MLAs.
Karnataka Speaker K G Bopaiah disqualified 11 BJP and five Independent MLAs from the Karnataka Assembly under anti-defection Act in response to Yeddyurappa's petition.
The JDS president HD Kumaraswami termed the trust vote unconstitutional and said he, along with 118 MLAs, are going to approcah the Governor.
"Yedyurappa has lost his majority in the House. He has misused the Speaker's chair. It shows their inability to prove their majority," Kumaraswami told CNN-IBN.
D V Shiva Kumar, KPCC working president, said: "The House was not conducted, the policemen were inside the House. Within a minute the Speaker left. We will go with all the MLAs for the headcount in front of the Governor."
Meanwhile, the Union Home ministry has expressed serious concern over the Karnataka situation and has taken serious note of it. Prima facie, the ministery sources feel the tenth schedule of the Constitution has been abused.
