Karnataka Floor Test: Governor sets new deadline, asks CM to prove majority by end of day

Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala on Friday extended the deadline for Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy to prove his government's majority in the state legislative Assembly here by end of the day, after the latter missed the 1.30 p.m. deadline set by the Governor. "The Chief Minister failed to prove majority in the Assembly by 1.30 p.m. the Governor had set on Thursday through a letter to him," opposition BJP leader B.S. Yeddyurappa told Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar after the deadline lapsed.
