Karnataka floor test: 'Most important objective was to establish transparency'

May 19, 2018 11:44

Following the Supreme Court's order of keeping K G Bopaiah as the pro tem speaker for the floor test this evening in the Karnataka assembly and order for live telecast of the proceedings, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, senior lawyer and party leader said, "Most important objective was to establish transparency. Since the statement has come from ASG that live feed of proceedings would be given, we hope & trust there would be fairness."

The Congress leader added, "I have no doubt that the victory would be of Congress & JD-S."

Meanwhile, Mukul Rohatgi said, "The SC heard the pleas of the Congress, all their pleas have been rejected. The desperate attempts of Congress to remove him from post has failed. I think they are scared & did not even want a floor test in the first place."
