"All Must Follow Rules," Says Governor Amid Tussle With Kamal Nath Government

There is no "motion of confidence" listed for today at the Madhya Pradesh assembly, raising questions about whether the trust vote will be held as per the directions of Governor Lalji Tandon. On Sunday, the state cabinet had asked Chief Minister Kamal Nath to take a call on the issue, contending that the letter by the Governor holds no constitutional validity as he cannot direct the state assembly. In case the government does not initiate the issue, the opposition can move a "no confidence motion" against the government. After a meeting with the Governor that ran past midnight, Mr Nath told journalists that the Speaker would take a call on today's voting.
