Siddaramaiah appeals speaker to defer trust vote till legality of whip is decided
Assembly adjourned till 3.pm
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and CLP Leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday appealed Speaker Ramesh Kumar to defer the trust vote and that it should be moved only after legality of the whip is decided.
"Given the Supreme Court's interim order, I have two options. One approach the Supreme Court and two, raise a point of order in the house, which I have done. The autonomy of the legislature has to be protected. The 15 MLAs are likely to be influenced by the Supreme Court order and not attend the session despite a whip from the party. This will be unfair to the government. We want the house to take up the confidence motion after this issue is settled," he said.
Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar adjourned the house till 3 pm for lunch and said he would consult the Advocate General of the state in the meantime over the issue.
