BS Yediyurappa wins trust vote by voice vote.

11:39 (IST) Jul 29

I ran the government for 14 months, everything was being recorded. I have no obligation to answer your questions. I need to answer to my conscience. People know what work I have done: HD Kumaraswamy to BS Yediyurappa

11:36 (IST) Jul 29

We hope you (BS Yediyurappa) will be chief minister but there is no guarantee of that. You are with the rebels, can you give a stable government? It's impossible. I oppose this confidence motion because this government is unconstitutional and immoral.

Siddaramaiah

Unfortunately, Yediyurappa has never been CM with people's mandate. Where's the mandate? You didn't have it in 2008, 2018 or even now. When he took an oath there were 222 MLAs in House, where did BJP have 112 MLAs for the majority? They had 105 seats. That is not mandate: Siddaramaiah

11:32 (IST) Jul 29

JD(S) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy takes objection to Yediyurappa's remarks (in his preliminary submission) that there was an administrative paralysis under JD(S)-Congress government.

11:29 (IST) Jul 29

We are elected to work for people and we must try to do that. I tried my best as CM so did HD Kumaraswamy. Yediyurappa said the administration has come to standstill and he wants to rectify that. It wasn't the case. In a coalition, we worked towards bringing to force a common minimum program: Siddaramaiah

We discussed HD Kumaraswamy's confidence motion over four days. I too participated in that and I don't want to speak about it. I could've spoken about circumstances under which Yediyurappa became CM. I wish him success and welcome his assurance that he'll work for people: Siddaramaiah

There is no necessity for a prolonged debate on trust vote motion since it had been moved against HD Kumaraswamy last week: Siddaramaiah

There is drought. I want to address farmers' issues. I've decided to give two installments of Rs 2,000 to beneficiaries under PM Kisan Scheme from the state's side. I appeal to the opposition that we must work together. I urge the House to unanimously express confidence in me: BS Yediyurappa

BS Yediyurappa moves confidence motion

"When Siddaramaiah and HD Kumaraswamy were CMs they didn't indulge in vindictive politics. The administration has failed and we'll set it right. I assure the House that we won't indulge in vindictive politics either. I believe in forget and forgive," says Yediyurappa.
