Benagluru, May 19: Congress leader DK Shivakumar on Saturday said that neither his party nor Janata Dal (Secular) would allow a voice vote when Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa moves a trust motion.

“We’re not bacchas here. We’ve seen the Assembly for 30 years. There law is clear. We want division of votes. We will not allow a voice vote,” Shivakumar told reporters.

Two Congress MLAs - Anand Singh and Pratapgouda Patil - did not show up for the oath-taking ceremony on Saturday. “I’m confident they will come. When they come, I’m sure they’ll vote for us,” Shivakumar said.

The Congress leader also demanded a probe by the I-T department on the alleged offer made by Yeddyurappa’s son BY Vijayendra to the wife of a Congress legislator. The Congress released an audio clip in which Vijayendra is purportedly heard offering Rs 30 crore as bribe.

Guv didnt invite cong-jds to prove majority before oath taking.  Cong staged dharna. No use of that. Similar to that your experiences will be just numbers in front of BJP. For that Feku and his Indian 'Thanos' (Shah) will do some arrangements

New Delhi, Mar 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the validity of Karnataka's 2018 reservation law, which granted reservation in promotion to employees belonging to SC and ST categories.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud holds that applications filed by a group of general category employees for applying 'post-based quota' and the principle of the creamy layer at entry-level in public employment are not maintainable.

The apex court had, in November last year, reserved its order on the applications filed by general category candidates in the matter.

In May last year, the top court had upheld the law allowing reservations in promotions for SC and ST candidates with consequential seniority.
