The ruling party leader in council, Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari, announced in the council house that the bill would be presented in the next session.The BJP is planning to present the controversial bill in the upper house after the newly elected members to the council take oath.
Presently way behind a majority, the BJP will be just one short of a majority after the new members take oath.The strength of the BJP would stand at 37.As party leaders are confident of getting the support of independent MLC Lakhan Jarakiholi, they can prove their majority.
Though the Opposition members strongly protested and demanded the extension of the session, the Chairperson of the Council adjourned the session for an indefinite period.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Assembly Vishveshwara Hegde Kageri also adjourned the House for an indefinite period even as the Opposition Congress demanded that the issues concerning the north Karnataka region must be addressed.
