Session Adjourned for the Day, Trust Vote Likely on 6PM Tuesday

After a plea from Congress leader Siddaramaiah that the ruling alliance will go for trust vote as soon as the debate is over on Tuesday, 23 July, the Assembly session was adjourned by Speaker Ramesh Kumar till Tuesday 10 am, despite disagreement from the BJP camp.

BJPs Madhuswamy, on Siddaramaiah’s plea, said that the debate will have to finish on Monday itself, not agreeing with the Speaker’s initial pitch of having a trust vote by 4 pm, Tuesday 23 July.
