New Delhi:
The ten rebel Karnataka lawmakers, with heavy police protection, reached the state assembly to meet the Speaker and confirm their resignations. The resignations will leave the ruling Congress-JDS coalition in minority.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had ordered the lawmakers to meet Speaker Ramesh Kumar at 6pm. The speaker will be conveying his decision to the top court today.
The rebel lawmakers had gone to the court alleging the Speaker had not accepted their resignation letters in order to help save the Karnataka government and give its negotiators time to regain numbers.
The speaker also said there was no need for the lawmakers to involve the court. "They could have willingly come here. That itself shows the whole thing is murky".
The Speaker claims he was not in office when the resignation letters came in on Saturday. After examining them on Tuesday, Mr Kumar rejected eight, asking the lawmakers to meet him on July 17.
Here are the highlights on the Karnataka crisis:
