Karnataka might get President's rule if new govt is not formed before July 31: Speaker Ramesh Kumar
Bengaluru: Karnataka Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar has expressed concerns that by the end of July the finance act will not be passed and there are possibilities that the President’s rule be imposed in the state if no party forms the government after the Cong-JD(S) coalition government collapsed on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters Ramesh Kumar added that if the government is not formed and finance act is not passed in Vidhan Soudha and Vidhan Parishat, state might face financial problems and in such a case President’s rule might be imposed in the state if no government is formed.
“Not even one rupee can be withdrawn from the government’s finance. Salaries of the government employees will also not be paid” he added.
“New government should be formed before July 31, if not there will be several problems. Without the formation of government Finance Act cannot be passed. It is for the first time there is constitutional crisis in the state” Ramesh Kumar said.
Hitting out at the rebel MLAs Ramesh Kumar said “I had issued notice to them to attend the hearing, but they didn’t turn up. I have other works to do too other than just sending notices to them. Law is equal for all and all are equal before law. The President the daily wage laborers are all equal before law”.

I've 10 months to decide whether I want to play one more year: Dhoni on IPL future
New Delhi(PTI): The legendary MS Dhoni stayed immune to the growing clamour around his future in the IPL, saying the decision to bring curtains on his career depends on how his body reacts to the demands of top-flight cricket and he has "10 months" to take a call.
In this IPL, Dhoni has not been able to make the kind of impact that he usually does while batting in the lower middle-order.
His lack of timing and ineffectiveness, evidenced in the 76 runs that he made from four matches, have prompted several experts to urge the multiple World Cup-winning skipper to move on.
"I am still playing the IPL and it is one year at a time for me. I am 43 now and by the end of this IPL season, I will be 44," Dhoni said on entrepreneur Raj Shamani's podcast recently.
"So, I have 10 months to decide whether I want to play one more year and it's not me to decide as it is my body that decides whether I can play or not," he added.
However, the former Chennai Super Kings skipper, who led CSK to five IPL titles, said he is quite content with his achievements on the field.
"It is not about whether I am happy or unhappy. Whatever has happened has happened. It cannot be changed. It's about accepting all of it. You know, whatever happens I will not be able to add one more run to my international runs, and no one will be able to reduce them," he said.
Dhoni has always been a man of the present. But, for once, he set aside that pragmatic side to reveal his wish of seeing legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh assemble in the same team once again.
"I will stick to Indian players. Viru pa opening the innings, Sachin, Dada… and now you imagine everyone at their prime. Then you will get this feeling that there can't be anyone better than them.
"It's tough to pick an all-time eleven. Now, when you see Yuvi hitting six sixes, you will feel that I don't want to watch any other batsman. It's all about enjoying what they have done for India. Some of those talents we have seen are mind blowing," he added.
