According to news agency PTI, UT Khader, Rudrappa Lamani called on Governor Tawar Chand Gehlot and briefed about why the MLAs had to be suspended.

BJP MLAs Dheeraj Muniraj, Umanath Kotian, Aravind Bellad, Yashpal Suvarna, Vedvyasa Kamath, R Ashok, Sunil Kumar, Araga Jnanendra, Bharat Shetty and Ashwathnarayan were the ten MLAs who were suspended till the end of this assembly session.
