Yeddyurappa moves trust motion in K'taka Assembly

Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today moved the motion seeking a vote of confidence of the Karnataka Assembly in his government.

The Supreme Court had yesterday ordered a floor test in the Karnataka Assembly at 4 PM today, drastically slashing the 15-day window given by Governor Vajubhai Vala to BJP Chief Minister Yeddyurappa to prove his majority.

"Let the House decide and the best course would be floor test," a three-judge bench headed by Justice A K Sikri said, while noting that ultimately the question was about a majority which has to be proved on the floor of the House.
