Those doubting strength of mandate, wait and watch: Karnataka BJP tweets
Bengaluru: “To all those doubting the strength of our mandate, we just have to say: Wait and watch,” this is what the Karnataka BJP tweeted soon after the Supreme Court on Friday asked Yeddyurappa to take the floor test and prove BJP’s majority in the Karnataka Assembly at 4 pm tomorrow.
The party said that it is ready to prove the majority and has more than required number to sail through the floor test. It further said that it is “looking forward” to prove its mandate on Saturday.
We were ready to prove majority from the word go. We have more than the required number to sail through the floor test. We are looking forward to proving our mandate tomorrow.

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the newly-sworn Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa to prove his party’s majority in the Assembly tomorrow.
The court's decision came at the crucial hearing on the Congress-JD(S) petition challenging Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala’s invitation to Yeddyurappa to form the government in state.
The Governor had given the BJP – which has 104 MLAs, 8 short of mark – 15 days to prove majority. The Congress-JD(S) combine has 116 MLAs, 4 more than the required 112.
