Karnataka : Kumaraswamy wins trust vote after BJP walks out of Assembly

| @indiablooms | May 25, 2018, at 09:44 pm

Bengaluru, May 25 (IBNS) : Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy won a motion of confidence for his coalition Government  on the floor of the state assembly on Friday, as the Bharatiya Janata Party walked out from the house, reports said.

The motion was carried unopposed with the BJP absent in the house.

The confidence vote put an end to a 10-day long political drama after the assembly election results on May 15 produced a hung assembly   BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa ended his five-day run as CM without going through the motions of a trust vote with 104 MLAs under his command.

The present majority mark in the state Assembly is 112.

Kumaraswamy took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on Wednesday.

Kumaraswamy's party,  JD(S) and the Congress came to a post-poll alliance to keep the BJP out of power.

While the Congress has 78 MLAs, the JD(S) has 36. The coalition has also garnered support from the lone MLA of BSP and an independent.
