‘We’re Intimidated Into Supporting Kumaraswamy’
Five more rebel Congress MLAs urgently moved the Supreme Court on Saturday, saying they were being “threatened and intimidated” into supporting the H.D. Kumaraswamy government in Karnataka during the proposed floor test.
The legislators — Anand Singh, Dr. K. Sudhakar, N. Nagaraju, Munirathna and Roshan Baig — said they were in an identical situation as the 10 MLAs who had earlier approached the court against Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar and Mr. Kumaraswamy. They have also tendered their resignation from the Assembly, but their resignations are yet to be accepted by the Speaker.
The MLAs said that despite having submitted their resignation, they were being forced to support the government “on the threat of disqualification” in a floor test announced by Chief Minister Kumaraswamy on July 12.
