Congress legislators have said they will spend the night inside the Karnataka assembly on Thursday, demanding the sacking of minister KS Eshwarappa and a sedition case against him for his hugely controversial comment about replacing the national flag with a saffron one.
Congress members stayed back in the assembly, even after it was adjourned for the day following protests by the opposition party legislators that stalled proceedings in both houses for the second day in a row.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, and former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa later met Leader of Opposition and Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah in the assembly premises and held talks but there was no breakthrough.
"We tried to convince the opposition party leaders for around two hours. We told them to not sleep here in the assembly. But they have already decided. Speaker also tried to convince. We have tried our best but they did not agree. We will try to convince them tomorrow also," Mr Yediyurappa said.
