Amid scenes of pandemonium, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Monday won a vote of confidence in the Assembly under a cloud after the Speaker disqualified 16 MLAs, including 11 of BJP, hours before the trial of strength.
High drama marked the proceedings when Speaker K G Bopaiah declared the motion of confidence passed by a voice vote.
The Opposition vowed to challenge the Speaker's ruling disqualifying 11 BJP MLAs and five independents early in the morning, disregarding Governor H R Bhardwaj's directive last night not to change the status quo in regard to the party's strength as on October 6 before the rebels withdrew support reducing the government to a minority.
In Delhi, Union Home Ministry sources expressed concern over the "abuse" of the anti-defection law by the Speaker when he disqualified 16 MLAs.
Amidst slogan shouting by opposition Congress and JDS members, Yeddyurappa moved a one-line motion which said "this House expresses confidence in the government led by me".
