As these MLAs remain adamant that they will not return to their respective party folds, the BJP still has a clear advantage.
As the ruling coalition in Karnataka continues to dilly-dally to delay the floor test, all eyes are now on the Supreme Court. The apex court is set to hear the plea by the two independent MLAs represented by former Attorney General of India, Mukul Rohatgi who had also represented the 15 rebel MLAs. The independents have petitioned the apex court to direct that the floor test be conducted by Monday itself. However, the court did not hear the case until now. Petitions by both the Congress and Chief Minister Kumaraswamy approaching the court seeking clarity over its interim order on the issue of party whip for the rebels is also expected to be heard by a bench led by the Chief Justice of India. On Tuesday, the political instability, which the state has been facing since July 6, is expected to end after a consistent delay by the ruling coalition. Meanwhile, the rebel MLAs were asked by the Speaker to appear before him by 11 am on Tuesday to defend themselves regarding disqualification petitions against them. As these MLAs remain adamant that they will not return to their respective party folds, the BJP still has a clear advantage. (Note: Please wait for a few moments for the live blog to load.
