SC orders floor test in Karnataka Assembly tomorrow itself, rival camps confident of outcome

The new Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa was today ordered by the Supreme Court to face a floor test in the state Assembly tomorrow itself after it drastically reduced the 15-day deadline set by the governor for him to prove his majority. As the apex court fixed the time for the floor test at 4pm, the numbers were stacked against the BJP barring any defections or making MLAs of the rival JD(S)-Congress combine to resign or abstain from voting for it to get majority in the bitter struggle for power mired in allegations of bribery.
