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.
