Bengaluru, Jul 18 (ANI): After Karnataka Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar adjourned the house which resulted in indefinite delay for voting on confidence motion, Karnataka BJP’s president BS Yeddyurappa, who led a protest inside the assembly demanding immediate floor test, said that Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy was reluctant to take up the floor test since he lost the confidence of the house, adding that the Congress-JD(S) alliance has been reduced to 98 MLAs. “We are demanding voting on the motion but the Chief Minister is reluctant to take it up as he has confirmed himself that he has lost confidence of the house and the people.
