Bengaluru, Dec 15: The combined efforts of ruling BJP and opposition JD(S), which is cozying up to the saffron party notwithstanding its secular credentials, to unseat Congress party’s senior leader K Pratapchandra Shetty from the Karnataka Legislative Council Chairman’s post through a no-confidence motion came a cropper and the House was adjourned sine die without transacting any business amid uproarious scenes and utter chaos.
As a result of the confusion and the inability of Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa backed by JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy to remove Shetty from the post of the Chairman of the Upper House, the new-found bonhomie between BJP and JD(S) to upstage the Congress party failed miserably and Pratapchandra Shetty would continue in his post.
