Kumaraswamy Wins Trust Vote After BJP Walks Out Of Karnataka Assembly

Karnataka chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has won the trust vote moments after the BJP walked out of the assembly, throwing a dare at chief minister HD Kumaraswamy. "Let's see how long you last," said BS Yeddyurappa, as he staged a dramatic walkout from the House. The 58-year-old Janata Dal Secular leader, who was sworn in on Wednesday, has the support of 117 MLAs from the JD(S)-Congress-BSP coalition in the House. Just before the floor test, Congress' Ramesh Kumar was unanimously elected as the speaker after the BJP withdrew its candidate's nomination.
