BANGALORE, JAN 27
Karnataka Assembly Speaker Krishna, who is in the eye of a storm for his controversial decision to recognise JD(S) rebel group leader H D Kumarasamy as the party's legislature group leader, today accused Chief Minister Dharam Singh of having failed to fulfil his constitutional obligation of proving majority in the house.
"Despite giving three opportunties by adjourning the house, the Chief Minister failed to move the motion seeking a vote of confidence", Krishna told reporters here, declaring that he would report the developments to the Governor.
"I have no option other than to report to the Governor", he said.
Krishna, referring to the Congress demand for seeking his clarifications on his action of recognising the rebel group, said "there is no need for any clarification. The session was called to seek a vote of confidence as per the directions of the Governor" "It is the Chief Minister's constitutional obligation to move the motion. Recognising any legislature group is my prerogative. It is not for the Congress to question", he said.
Since January 19, after the JD(S) group petitioned him, seeking recognition to Kumaraswamy as its leader, he has consulted legal experts, he said.
