Vijayawada, May 19: The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu hailed Supreme Court's decision on Friday regarding the floor test in Karnataka Assembly and disapproved of Governor Vajubhai Vala's decision to appoint K.G. Bopaiah as pro-tem speak of the state legislative assembly.
Naidu took to Twitter and wrote, "We respect and welcome the verdict of Hon'ble Supreme Court. Governor should have followed the Democratic conventions in appointing protem speaker. We expect that the spirit of Supreme Court judgment will be protected."
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court ruled that a floor test should be conducted on Saturday at 4 pm for BJP to prove their majority in the Karnataka assembly.
The BJP has 104 MLAs but they are still short of the simple majority mark of 113 by nine MLAs and have been given 24 hours to prove the same in the assembly by the apex court.
We respect & welcome the verdict of Hon'ble Supreme Court. Governor should have followed the Democratic conventions in appointing protem speaker. We expect that the spirit of Supreme Court judgement will be protected.
