Harish Rawat's floor test begins in assembly, Prez rule lifted for 2 hours
May 10, 2016
Harish Rawat's floor test begins in Uttarakhand, Congress gets BSP support, loses one member who switched sides, gains 1 member from BJP.
With its nine rebel MLAs barred from voting in today's trust
vote, the Congress will still have the support of 27 MLAs including the
Speaker, in the assembly today. Harish Rawat can
prove majority with the support of only 31 legislators, since the
effective strength of the 70-member House will be 61.
Equally, if 31 MLAs vote against him, he fails.
