SC to hear plea against Protem Speaker hrs before floor test
The Supreme Court will hear Congress' petition against appointment of BJP MLA KG Bopaiah as Karnataka Protem Speaker at 10:30 am on Saturday, hours ahead of the floor test scheduled for 4 pm. Alleging that Governor Vajubhai Vala had flouted norms by appointing three-time MLA Bopaiah, Congress said eight-time Congress MLA RV Deshpande should have been appointed based on seniority.
