Congress, JD(S) expresses happiness over SC decision

Bengaluru, May 17:As we know that, Supreme court has ordered BJP's BS Yeddyurappa to prove its majority at 4 pm tomorrow.

The SC was hearing a petition filed by the Congress-JD(S) combine in Karnataka against the decision of Governor Vajubhai Vala to invite BJP's BS Yeddyurappa to form the government.

Congress and Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) leaders have expressed happiness at the Supreme Court (SC) verdict of calling for floor test tomorrow.

In all 74 Karnataka Congress, MLAs are camping in Hyderabad it is learned. They are not clear about the other four MLAs who are missing.

Also, the Congress legislators are not sure if all the JDS MLAs are intact or if some of them are in touch with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Telangana Congress leaders, including Uttam Kumar are holding discussions with the Karnataka Congress MLAs. They are all happy with SC verdict.

Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala had controversially given Mr 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.

Amid fear of defection, the Congress-JDS combine has moved around 116 lawmakers to Hyderabad.
