Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Legislative Council Member Vimala Gowda is all set to become Deputy Chairperson of the Karnataka Legislative Council after filing her nomination for the post, elections for which will be held today.
Vimala's nomination comes following the ouster of Puttana from the house. Vimala was the only person to file the nomination for the post that went vacant.
For the first time in its history, the Deputy Chairman of Karnataka Legislative Council Puttanna was removed from his post last week by a no-confidence motion moved by the ruling BJP, bringing to fore its majority in the 75-member house.
The no-confidence motion was moved against Puttanna JD(S) for his alleged anti-government outbursts. BJP has a strength of 39 members, followed by Congress 17, JD(S) 15, JD(U) 1 and Independents 3.
