New Delhi: The Supreme Court rejected Congress-JD(S) plea challenging appointment of pro tem speaker KG Bopaiah.
KG Bopaiah will will continue to be pro-tem speaker for today's floor test at 4 pm.
Bopaiah, who is known to be close to Yeddyurappa, had in 2010 disqualified 11 BJP lawmakers when they revolted after Yeddy was charged in a mining scam.
This disqualification helped the Yeddyurappa-led BJP government survive a trust vote. The decision was later cancelled by the Supreme Court. The apex court said Bopaiah had not been fair.
