Karnataka legislature session ends amid chaos, with govt. refusing to probe BMS trust case, disallowing discussion on ‘40% commission’

The last day of the 10-day Legislative Assembly session ended on a chaotic note as the demand of Opposition Janata Dal (Secular) for a probe into allegations of private people being allowed to get a stronghold in the BMS Educational Trust was rejected and Opposition Congress’ demand for discussion on “40% commission” was not taken up.

The House was adjourned sine die even as members of both parties were protesting. Vociferous sloganeering by JD(S) members prevented the Congress from raising the “40% commission” issue and their demand for an extension of the session till Monday to allow it went unheeded.
