Judgement Day for HDK as speaker sets 6pm deadline

The fate of the tottering JD(S)-Congress government will be decided by 6pm on Tuesday. Before adjourning the house at 11.42pm on Monday, assembly speaker KR Ramesh Kumar announced the schedule — debate on the trust motion from 10am to 4pm, the CM’s reply from 4pm to 5pm, and voting between 5pm and 6pm. That’s likely to bring the curtains down on the 17-day political drama spanning across Bengaluru, Mumbai, New Delhi and the Supreme Court.
