Bengaluru, May 18: “Even I am also curious about the process of floor test in the Assembly being conducted by Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on May 19,” said former prime minister and JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda.

Speaking to reporters here on Friday after SC order, Gowda said that he would welcome the Supreme Court decision. Based on the tomorrow’s developments, the JDS would take its decision. Till now, the JDS has never formed its government with full majority. Though Janata Dal had won 113 seats in 1994, it was not possible to form the government because of internal bickering. Still he is repenting for that, he said.

“I would feel neither happy nor unhappy if my son HD Kumaraswamy became the chief minister. I would be calm. Future course of action would be decided only after floor test”, Gowda said.
