New Delhi: The Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh will go for floor test today at 2 pm after the Supreme Court set a 5 pm deadline in response to a BJP petition that wanted an immediate resolution of the issue.
The Congress government in the state is on the verge of collapse after 22 MLAs — loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the party and joined the BJP.
“There will be only one agenda – whether the government enjoys strength. The state of uncertainty in Madhya Pradesh should be effectively resolved by a floor test”, the court said.
“The voting has to be done peacefully, by a show of hands. It has to be videographed and there has to be live telecast of the proceedings,” the judges said.
