The Big Picture - Supreme Court, Governor & Floor Test

Putting an end to all speculations, the Supreme Court on Friday ordered a floor test to be conducted on Saturday in the legislative assembly of Karnataka at 4 pm. Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala had given B S Yeddyurappa 15 days to prove his majority. The BJP is eight members short of the 112-majority mark in Karnataka, but was invited by the Governor instead of the Congress-Janata Dal Secular combine, which has 116 members. The court was hearing a petition filed by the Congress-JD(S) combine against the decision of Karnataka Governor to invite the BJP to form the government in the State. On this edition of ‘The Big Picture’ I analyse the interim order of the Supreme Court.
