BSY cannot prove majority: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, May 17: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that BS Yeddyurappa who sworn in as the 24th Chief Minister of the state could not prove the majority in the Assembly.
After participating in a protest in front of the Gandhi statue near Vidhana Soudha here on Thursday against the Governor’s decision of inviting the BJP to form the government, he said that Congress-JDS combine has 117 numbers. But the Governor has invited the BJP which has only 104 seats and it is unconstitutional, he said.
BJP could not prove its majority. Yeddyurappa would be disappointed during Vote of Confidence. Their case registered in the Supreme Court was right and have the confidence of getting suitable verdict, he said.
Yeddyurappa’s statement that he would win the Vote of Confidence even though there are no clear numbers is a kind of brazenness. All the 78 MLAs of the Congress are together. Vijayanagar MLA Anand Singh has been to Delhi for a personal work and he would join the Congress team. While Pratap Gowda Patil was suffering from health problem and he is also with the Congress, he said.

Sanju Samson ton guides India to 61-run win over South Africa
Durban, Nov 8: Sanju Samson scored a scintillating century as India inflicted a 61-run defeat on South Africa in the first T20I here on Friday.
Invited to bat, Samson blazed away to 107 off 50 balls, hitting as many as 10 sixes and seven fours to help India post 202 for 8.
The spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy (3/25) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28) then shared six wickets between them to bowl out South Africa for 141 in 17.5 overs.
Earlier, Samson became the first Indian to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is.
The opener notched his second T20I hundred off just 47 balls. His first had come in India's last outing against Bangladesh last month.
However, South Africa clawed their way back into the game as they stemmed the flow of runs by picking wickets in the last five overs.
Pacer Gerald Coetzee who claimed three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts.
Brief Scores:
India: 202 for 8 in 20 overs (Sanju Samson 107, Tilak Verma 33; Gerald Coetzee 3/37)
