HDK takes opposition by surprise, seeks trust vote in assembly
(The Times of India)

As soon as the assembly met at noon, Kumaraswamy said given the ongoing confusion in Karnataka against the backdrop of the political developments, it would be appropriate for him to continue in office only after proving his majority. `So, I have decided to seek a trust vote. You fix the date and time,` Kumaraswamy said, addressing Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar. However, no date has been decided for the trust vote yet.
