Karnataka Assembly Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar disqualified 14 more rebel MLAs on Sunday.

Earlier on Thursday, Karnataka Assembly speaker KR Ramesh Kumar had disqualified 3 rebel Congress MLAs under the anti-defection law. With all attention riveted on the Speaker's action, Kumar held that the resignation by the three MLAs was "not voluntary and genuine" and therefore proceeded to disqualify them under the anti-defection law with immediate effect till the end of the term of the current House in 2023.
