The speaker had then asked the MLAs to resign again. After the resignations were rejected, the coalition government has certainly escaped a minority and may have given him some relief. The Speaker was questioned whether the Legal Cell of the Congress had written to him for not accepting his resignation. Kumar had said that he had not yet seen the letter. Kumar said,  "I came today after leaving office on Saturday. Ramesh had said that there is no provision in the Constitution or the rule regarding the time period. Today, I will fix it or in the next two hours, after two years, all these are irrelevant questions to me. I have to take care of the sentiments of the people.
