Kamal Nath gets 10-day break from number game

Bhopal: The Kamal Nath-led Congress Covernment in Madhya Pradesh got a 10-day reprieve today as the Assembly session was adjourned without an anticipated Trust Vote until Mar. 26 over coronavirus, after a one-minute address by Governor Lalji Tandon. 

Just after the brief address of the Governor, BJP MLAs raised the demand for a floor test, triggering an uproar. Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Govind Singh raised the issue of coronavirus threat in the country and also mentioned the Central Government’s advisory, following which the Speaker accepted Singh’s plea and adjourned the House till Mar. 26.

After nine BJP MLAs along with former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan moved to the Supreme Court and sought for a floor test in Madhya Pradesh within 48 hours, the Apex Court stated that it will hear the matter tomorrow.
