A Karnataka lawyer has written to Karnataka Assembly Speaker seeking the Suvarna Vidhan Soudha to be rented out for his daughter's birthday celebrations.

Suvarna Vidhan Soudha is currently hosting legislative sessions and critical matters of the state are being discussed during the sessions.

The letter, written by advocate Mallikarjun Choukasi of Gokak Taluk states that the Suvarna Vidhan Soudha remains unused and unoccupied for most part of the year except for 15 days of legislative sessions, hence urged the speaker and Deputy Commissioner to rent it out for people to celebrate their auspicious occasions.

“My one and only daughter Manishree will complete her 5th year on January 30th and step into her 6th year. She is soon to enter 1st standard. This is a precious moment in her life. Hence, together with her birthday celebrations, in our region, we have a tradition of doing Huttudatti, which is also a ‘once in a lifetime’ event. Therefore, it is a request that the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha premises – which is akin to a haunted house for most of the year other than the 15 days it is occupied and busy – be rented out for this occasion.” he has written in the letter.

Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.

According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.

Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.

Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).

Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.

Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.

Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
