Will have to examine if resignations are genuine:KTK Speaker

As the political chaos in Karnataka continued, State Assembly speaker K R Ramesh Kumar Thursday said almost all resignations by MLAs were in the proper format but he was under "no obligation" to act in haste until he was convinced that they were genuine and voluntary.

Asserting he will abide by the rules, the speaker said he will take a "just decision which may be of convenience to some and inconvenience to some."
He added, "I emphasise I am not under anybodys obligation. My obligation is to the aspirations of the people of the state and the parliamentary democracy."
I have videographed the entire proceeding. I am sending the video to the supreme court registrar."
The party, however, did not move any petition against seven time MLA Ramalinga Reddy,and said he was an "exception."
"There was no need for them (MLAs who resigned) to approach the Supreme Court and get me an advice that I should meet them. They could have willingly come here. That itself shows the whole thing is murky."
