Political scuffle is high in the state of Karnataka in recent days. Karnataka assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri approved a no-confidence motion moved by the Congress party against the BS Yediyurappa government. A day before, Congress had claimed that 'the CM and his family were involved in corruption. It is not sure if the JDS will support the motion.' Earlier in the day, Opposition leader Siddaramiah conversing after a meeting of Congress legislative party said that the state government had failed on all fronts and that is why the party has decided to move the no-confidence motion.

The Minister said, “There has been corruption in the procurement of equipment for COVID treatment, government officials are making money by indulging in transfer business and allocation of posts. Yediyurappa and his family are interested in only making money. Governance has collapsed." In the assembly, when the members of Congress stood up to emphasize on the motion being taken up for discussion immediately, ruling party members objected to it. The Speaker continued with the listed business of some bills to be moved and refused to take up the motion immediately, saying it was under his consideration and he would decide when a time should be allocated for the same.
