Congress confident of winning floor-test in Karnataka assembly

May 19, 2018 12:15

Hours before the floor test is set to begin in Karnataka assembly, Congress leaders said they have the numbers and ultimately they will form the government in the state in alliance with Janata Dal-Secular.

Before leaving for the assembly, senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Ghulam Nabi Azad said the numbers are against the Bharatiya Janata Party and expressed confidence that Congress-JD-S will form the government in the state.

"Numbers are against the BJP. Numbers are in favour of us. MLAs are in our favour. We will form the government," Azad said.

Echoing similar sentiments, another Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, who is also the Lok Sabha MP, said, "The BJP does not have the numbers; we will win the floor test. The BJP is just trying to prove their majority and they will fail to do so."
