HD Kumaraswamy is seeking vote of confidence in his Janata Dal Secular-Congress alliance government on the floor of the house on Friday (May 25). He took the oath of office and secrecy on Wednesday evening.
He had earlier pronounced of clearing the floor test within 24 hours after assuming office. However he has chosen Friday for the purpose. On Thursday he visited the house of HD Devegowda, his father and JDS supremo before proceeding towards the Siddaganga Mutt.
Today’s proceedings will also pave way for the election of KR Rameshkumar, former health minister belonging to the Congress party as the new Speaker. He has also served as a Speaker earlier during his stint in the Janata Pariwar.
It may be recalled here that the Janata Dal Secular was insisting on the Speaker’s position as well but the Congress stood firm on its ground of ensuring the post to the party fold.
