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“Not even one rupee can be withdrawn from the government’s finance.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”.

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury justifies Pitroda's 'racist' comments, says not everyone looks alike in India
Baharampore (WB), May 9: The Congress's West Bengal president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Thursday defended Sam Pitroda's "racist" comment by stating that "India too has dark-skinned people akin to the N****es".
The senior Congress leader and party's nominee from Baharampur Lok Sabha seat resonated with Pitroda who stirred a controversy by comparing people of south and east Indian origin to Africans and Chinese respectively.
"According to the topography of our country, our regional features differ. In our Hindustan, we have Proto-Australian class, N***o class, Mongoloid class. I don't need to speak much on personal opinions," Chowdhury said at the party office here.
"That's what we are taught in schools. Not everyone looks alike. Some are black, others are white," the Congress leader said.
The controversy that followed Pitroda's comment in the wake of the ongoing general elections drove the leader to quit as the chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress.
