SC orders floor test for Kamal Nath government on March 20


New Delhi, March 19 (IANS): In a major development amid the ongoing Madhya Pradesh political crisis, the Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the floor test in the Legislative Assembly be held on Friday and the proceedings be completed before 5 p.m.

The floor test will be done by show of hands, it said.

A bench headed by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and comprising Justice Hemant Gupta said the test is essential to the political uncertainty in the state. The bench also directed the Karnataka DGP to provide security to 16 rebel Congress MLAs who may want to attend the floor test.

"Voting would be by show of hands. Will be videographed and live telecast if possible," said the top court.

    Sad to see how our elected MLAs are being bought and government made unstable with money power. Supreme Court has let the citizens down. One sentence would have been enough - they were elected for 5 years and they cannot resign at will and join another party for personal gain.
    Individual freedom as public expense. Our kind of politics makes us fools in the sight of the world.

    Other democracies do it too; often governments do not survive more than a few months in Israel and Italy, to name only a few. That is because the parliamentarians do not have to stick to their parties firman no matter what. They are free to exercise their own judgement which the rigid party system and party loyalty does not allow. However, they don't walk away from their party.

    But there is no action who shift loyalty from one party to other party and cause irreparable moral and financial damage to public money
    At least they should not be allowed to contest 2 terms. The stability of the government can be maintained or all must be designated as cm

    This is a clear cut example of 'Hijack of Democracy'. Hold invisible gun at the opposition MLAs then get SC order for floor test. Then during election time install tampered EVMs in place of intentionally faulty EVMs and win elections. People should decline casting votes for this kind of voting system because finally these very MPs and MLAs end up in BJP party.
