Amid questions about the Karnataka coalition's survival, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy declared today that he would seek a trust vote on the floor of the house and asked the Speaker to "fix a time". In preparation for the test of strength, ruling allies Congress and Janata Dal Secular and rival BJP have arranged to move their lawmakers to resorts to sequester them from "poaching" attempts. "I have decided to seek trust vote, please fix time for it," Mr Kumaraswamy said as the budget session began in the Vidhana Souda or state assembly this morning.
