Unruly scene: Oppn says it was a mistake

Opposition leader in the Assembly Siddaramaiah said the Government provoked the Congress and the JD(S) MLAs to jump into the well of the House. The government should not have conducted the election after paying homage to Vishnuvardhan.

There was celebration in the House by the ruling party members after the election. How one can celebrate when there was State mourning. Besides, the election was conducted throwing all rules to the winds, he asked. Asked whether the party will take legal steps against the election, he said “the Legislature is always the supreme. Still we will look into the possibility.”

JD(S) leader H D Revanna alleged the ruling party had a fear that it will be defeated if the election was postponed.
