Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa proved his majority in the assembly on Monday without breaking a sweat, setting the ball rolling for cabinet formation with the nod of the BJP leadership in Delhi. The win somewhat erased memories of his trust vote 14 months ago when he had to resign on the floor of the House, admitting he did not have the numbers.
Since then, the BJP tally just went up by one to 105, but it was enough to tide through a House reduced to 208 members following after the disqualification of 17 Congress-JD(S) rebels. The speaker held a voice vote, and the result was on expected lines as the opposition benches were empty. The Congress-JD(S) did not press for a division.
