Bengaluru: A day ahead of seeking the trust vote in the assembly, new Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa expressed confidence that he would be able to prove his majority. He also said that the finance bill prepared by the previous Congress-JD(S) government would be tabled by him in the assembly on Monday, without any changes.
"On Monday, hundred per cent, I will prove my majority," Yediyurappa told reporters here. The finance bill (appropriation bill) needs to be passed urgently as otherwise we will not be able to draw funds even to pay salaries," he said. "So tomorrow after moving the confidence motion, we will first take up the finance bill," he added.
The 14-month-old Congress-JD(S) coalition government headed by H.D. Kumaraswamy collapsed on Tuesday last after losing the vote of confidence in the assembly.
