Bengaluru/New Delhi: The Election Commission’s U-turn in the Supreme Court vis-a-vis crucial bypolls to 15 Assembly constituencies and the subsequent decision to defer till October 22 hearing of petitions against disqualification came as a manna not only to disqualified legislators but also to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and senior leaders of party.
With four days left for filing nomination papers for polls originally scheduled for October 21, all disqualified legislators were anxious about the apex court’s verdict on their petitions and mounted pressure on Mr Yediyurappa to protect their interests.
