Ahead of the trust vote in Karnataka Assembly tomorrow, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy claimed, his party and Congress would work together to see its fall. Addressing a press conference in Chennai along with the dissidents, the former Chief Minister alleged that the ruling BJP is misusing government machinery as well as the Speaker's chair to win the trial of strength. He said the Speaker had warned of disqualifying independent MLAs, which he said was a first of its kind in India. In a related development, Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj today directed Speaker K G Bopaiah to maintain status quo on the House strength as on October 6. A PTI report says, Mr Bhardwaj, in a clear warning said, if there was any alteration in the numbers ignoring his directive, his decision would be final. He said the process of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa seeking the trust vote tomorrow to prove his government's majority as per his direction should be held as per law and all legislators should be allowed to take part in the exercise. The Governor's missive to the Speaker has come as a dampner to the ruling BJP, which had been hoping to get a favourable order on disqualification of 11 rebel MLAs, against whom Yeddyurappa has filed a complaint under provisions of the anti-defection law after they withdrew support to his government. In the 224-member house, BJP has 117 members, followed by Congress 73, JDS 28 and Independents six. A mark of 113 is required to prove majority in the house.
