The State government on Wednesday faced an embarrassing situation in the Legislative Council when the Opposition BJP and JD (S) voted down the Karnataka Souharda Sahakari (Amendment) Bill, 2025, that was passed in the Assembly.
Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot had earlier this year returned this Bill, along with the Karnataka Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2024, to the State government, requesting reconsideration and modifications. The Governor had deemed the government’s previous clarifications on these Bills as “not satisfactory”.
