Floor Test: The Double Standards of Congress Party

The country is currently witnessing a high political drama going on in Karnataka where the fate of a Congress-led coalition government is at stake.

Congress and its allies are crying foul over Supreme Court’s order that has exempted rebel MLAs of Congress and JD(S) from mandatorily taking part in the floor test.

It has termed the SC judgement as ‘bad’.

So, if debarring MLAs from voting helps in passing the floor test, it is okay, but, if exempting MLAs from the voting weakens the case of Congress, it is a ‘bad judgement’.

When BJP emerged as the single largest party, short of the majority mark, in the Karnataka assembly elections (2018), the Supreme Court had given 24 hours of time to BJP to prove its majority.

The fact that the floor test has still not happened means that a minority government of a post-poll coalition where the parties had fought the election against each other, has continued for almost 3 weeks now.
