BS Yediyurappa Wins Trust Vote In Assembly, Motion Passed By Voice Vote

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa won trust vote in the Vidhana Soudha on Monday after he proved his majority in the Assembly winning the confidence motion by a voice vote. With the numbers game favouring the BJP government, the Congress and JDS did not press for division on the one-line motion moved by Yediyurappa that the House expresses confidence in his three-day old Ministry. BJP government-led by Yediyurappa is now safe for six months since the next trust vote can be moved only after that. Yediyurappa alleged the administrative machinery in the State had collapsed during the Congress-JDS rule and his priority was to bring it back on track.
