New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that the Supreme Court’s order to conduct a floor test in the Karnataka assembly had “vindicated” his party’s claim that governor Vajubhai Vala acted unconstitutionally in inviting BJP’s B S Yeddyurappa to take oath as the chief minister.
“Today’s Supreme Court order, vindicates our stand that Governor Vala acted unconstitutionally. The BJP’s bluff that it will form the Govt., even without the numbers, has been called out by the court,” he tweeted.
