<<Supreme Court turns down Congress plea. Suggests all channels live 
telecast the floor test. KG Bopaiah will remain the pro-tem Speaker and 
conduct the floor test. The floor test is scheduled to happen at 4 pm 
today. 
...
We wanted a practical solution so we asked for live telecast of voting. So 
when proceedings are transparent then it does not matter who is pro tem 
speaker. No other agenda should be taken up by the pro tem speaker. We did 
not push for anything else more than transparency. Ab jo jeetagea wohi

Mukul Rohatgi, representing two BJP MLAs in the Supreme Court (ref.: <

is just lying through his teeth.
<<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: Mukul Rohatgi #Karnataka
11:32 AM - May 19, 2018>>
Compare with Abhishek Manu Singhvi representing Cong.-JD(S):
<<We are thankful to the SC yet again. SC agreed to hear an urgent matter. 
We wanted floor test should be transparent and that has been granted by the 
SC. Live feed of floor test will be given and with this our aim has been 
fulfilled. We didn’t push for anything else. We want nothing wrong should 
happen today. Ultimately democracy should win. Congress – JD(S) will win 
and BJP has realised that: Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Congress leader and

And this Mukul Rohatgi has been appointed as 'eminent jurist' in the

WHO HAS THE EDGE?

Total number of seats in Karnataka assembly: 224

Elections held on: 222 seats

Effective voting strength as pro-tem speaker can’t vote unless a tie: 221

Majority mark needed to win trust vote: 111

CONG + JD(S) + others = 118 i.e. 7 over majority

BJP = 104 i.e. 7 short of majority
