SG Mehta: Here I'm being asked by the person who did not face the vote of confidence that why did you call for the vote of confidence!
15 March 2023 2:28 PM IST
SG Mehta: It's not a luxury conferred upon the governor, it's a duty.
15 March 2023 2:27 PM IST
SG Mehta: The subsequent decision of the Chief Minister not facing the floor test justifies the decision of the floor test- the government had lost the confidence.
15 March 2023 2:26 PM IST
SG Mehta: It need not be a prayer that please hold the floor test. They're saying that they've lost the confidence.
15 March 2023 2:24 PM IST
SG Mehta: The governor in my submission would have jurisdiction once he has material. And what is that material? It need not be a letter also. Suppose it's in public media- it cannot be disputed. Can the governor not examine those facts also?
15 March 2023 2:23 PM IST
SG Mehta: This is material which shows that they don't want to support the government and thus, they want security.
15 March 2023 2:22 PM IST
SG Mehta: Bommai holds this. That there is loss of confidence by this government. And he can, not just can, he should ask for floor test.
15 March 2023 2:22 PM IST
SG Mehta: It's not legislative party members showing lack of confidence in their party. They're saying that they're withdrawing support from government. That's the distinction.
