The Congress today welcomed the Supreme Court's order of holding a floor test in Karnataka Assembly tomorrow, saying the Constitution has won and democracy restored.
Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala had given BJP Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa 15 days' time to prove its majority.
Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala said the Constitution has rejected the "unconstitutional" decision of the Karnataka Governor.
"Constitution wins, Democracy restored! B S Yeddyurappa does remain a 1 day CM - Constitution rejects an illegitimate CM as also the unconstitutional decision of Governor of Karnataka (sic)," he said on Twitter.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who represented the Congress-JD (S) combine in the apex court, termed the Supreme Court's decision "historic", and said, "Interim Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has been restrained from taking policy decisions till tomorrow."
Today, a three-judge bench headed by Justice A K Sikri said, "Let the House decide and the best course would be floor test."
