Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa has won the confidence voice vote in the Assembly, bringing to an end, for the moment, days of political uncertainty in the state.
The Assembly session began today, with the Chief Minister deciding to use the opportunity to prove his majority. He managed to get 199-0, no votes against him, as the opposition Congress staged a walkout and the JD(S) boycotted the session.
'It is unfortunate that opposition parties are obstructing the conduct of session and constantly coming in the way of functioning of democratic institutions. They are obstructing functioning of Speaker. They cannot tolerate being out of power,' he told reporters after the trust vote.
This is the fourth time Mr. Yeddyurappa has sought a trust vote after he led BJP to victory in the 2008 Assembly polls.
Governor HR Bhardwaj initially did not give permission while waiting for the Centre to respond to his recommendation for President's Rule. His recommendation was rejected on May 22.
Bhardwaj, a senior Congress leader and a former Union Minister, has had a running battle with Yeddyurappa and the BJP government in the state ever since he was appointed Governor less than two years ago.
