After the Madhya Pradesh assembly was adjourned till March 26, Governor Lalji Tandon has asked Chief Minister Kamal Nath to face floor test tomorrow.
The adjournment came soon after Governor Lalji Tandon walked out of the state assembly amid Congress slogans of "respect the house" after he said in his opening address at session today to "follow the Constitution".
The resignation of 22 Congress MLAs loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia last week has brought the state government on the brink of collapse. The MLAs, who flew to Bengaluru, are expected to follow Mr Scindia into the BJP; the long-time Congress leader made the stunning switch last week, complaining that the party was "not what it was before".
"All must follow the rules under the Constitution so that dignity of Madhya Pradesh remains protected," said the Governor today, in what was seen to a message to the Kamal Nath-led Congress government. The Governor had earlier asked the Speaker to hold a test of strength in the House.
