BHOPAL: The political drama in Madhya Pradesh seems headed for another twist. Law minister P C Sharma said on Saturday evening that the Governor’s directive to the Speaker to hold a floor test on Monday is “only a message and not a direction”, indicating that the make-or-break division may not happen on the opening day of the budget session.The ‘cause list’ of the assembly, release around 9pm on Sunday, doesn’t mention floor test. It only mentions two programmes — Governor Lalji Tandon ’s address and motion of thanks.Floor test is not the only thing uncertain. There’s suspense over whether the 22 breakaway MLAs of Scindia faction, lodged in Bengaluru since March 9, will return before the expected floor test.While chief minister Kamal Nath reiterated that he is ready to face the floor test, Speaker Narayan Prasad Prajapati sparked speculation by saying he wouldn’t reply to “hypothetical questions on the floor test” and will take decision in the House.Congress ministers and even the Speaker have expressed concern over the coronavirus spread across the country. “From media reports, I came to know that the President of a country is also infected by coronavirus. In the present situation, everyone is worried, so am I,” said Prajapati.Asked if he would carry out the floor test in the House, as directed by the Governor, the Speaker said, “This will come tomorrow. I cannot answer hypothetical questions or be a part of any fluke. I had spoken about established procedures and have read out the power of a Speaker. The answer lies in it,” he said.Advocate general Shashank Shekhar attended a meeting with CM Nath, Digvijaya Singh and Congress leader and eminent lawyer Vivek Tankha at CM House on Sunday evening. Asked if it was mandatory for the speaker to hold the floor test on Monday, Shekhar told reporters: “It’s the exclusive domain of the speaker. What the governor has written to the speaker is between the two of them.”As of Sunday evening, the assembly strength is 222 — after six resignations and death of two MLAs — putting the majority mark at 112. If the 16 other resignations, in the wake of Scindia’s quitting Congress are accepted, Congress would be down to 92 members in the House, which would then have a strength of 206, putting the majority mark at 104.
