Speaker of the Karnataka legislative assembly K G Bopaiah has hit back at Governor H R Bharadway stating that he is shocked with the letter that was written to him.

The speaker K G Bopaiah in his reply to the governor stated that he was shocked that the governor was interfering in the affairs of the speaker.

The Supreme Court in the Rameshwar Dayal case has clearly stated that the governor cannot interfere with matters pertaining to disqualification, and in such matters, the speaker is supreme.

Governor Bharadwaj had written a letter to the speaker telling him to conduct the trust vote on Monday as per the numbers each party had on October 6. This was seen as a move to prevent any disqualification or suspension of the rebel MLAs.

Meanwhile, the speaker concluded hearing the matter pertaining to the plea of disqualification. After hearing arguments, the speaker reserved orders on the matter. Sources told rediff.com that the verdict may come out by late Sunday evening.

That tells everything about what's going on in Karnataka. The governer is looking at the following options:

(1) Either he ensures the government falls

(2) Ensure that some constitutional crisis to put president rule so that INC and JDS have some more time to trigger defections



KA government seems to more important in calculations afte Ayodhya verdict.
