Have not received notice on no-confidence motion: K'taka min Patil

Bengaluru, Dec 4 (PTI) Karnataka Minister H K Patil said the government has not received any notice on a no-confidence motion by the opposition BJP and the JD(S).

He also said the opposition has no grounds to move the motion.

"We have not received any request for no-confidence motion. If they move then we will tell people about the work the state government has done," Patil, who holds law and parliamentary affairs portfolio, told reporters here.

The BJP had said that it would bring the no-confidence motion in the wake of the row over leadership change in the ruling Congress.

Amid the heightened power tussle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar, the BJP had recently said that the confusion over the leadership in the state is taking a toll on the administration, which has increased the sufferings of people in distress, especially the farmers.

Later, Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar tried to put an end to the row and displayed unity through their 'breakfast diplomacy'. PTI GMS GMS SA
