The coalition government appears to be heading for a split and also for crash. Nearly 13 MLAs belonging to the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) parties have sought Assembly speaker’s appointment to submit their resignation. Among the 13, two are from JD(S) while the rest 11 are from Congress.
All the lawmakers have reached Karnataka Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar’s office on Saturday afternoon. As this news hit the headlines, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee chief called on important leaders and trying their best to pacify the upset MLAs.
If the speaker accepts these MLAs resignation then the coalition government strength will come down to 105 and to stake claims of government, the magic figure is 116.
Meanwhile the BJP is closing observing this political developments. The saffron party has 105 MLAs in assembly and one of the leaders said BJP has nothing to do with Congress and JD(S) MLAs quitting. However, they did not make any comment what if the coalition government collapses.
