CM Karnataka Yeddy resigns.There are rumours that the BJP will be forced to back out and step down as they don’t have the required numbers. Gali Janardhan Reddy and Sriramulu the MLA tried to muster some support but they could not get them according to the latest reports. The Congress party produced some audio tapes where Yeddyurappa and others were negotiations for getting the Congress MLAs.
But they failed. There are allegations that even Amit Shah tried to win over some Congress MLAs, but could not get them. Now the BJP needs at least 8 MLAs and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the BJP. There is no other way for Yeddy but to cut a sorry figure resign and step down. The other way to create a ruckus and get the session postponed for the day and meet again to prove the majority and till such time something can be done.
The Congress has suggested the members stay calm and quiet and not to get provoked. The Congress members will not give any opportunity to the BJP to postpone the floor test.
For the first time, the BJP is in a piquant situation and they are unable to forge ahead. The JDS is also trying to woo some BJP MLAs in the name of caste. Will some MLAs abstain is the question.
But so far no positive indications for the BJP. Prakash Javdekar, Amit Shah, Piyush Goel, Nitin Gadkari are at the helm of affairs working for the BJP success it is reported.
