The Karnataka Government is in trouble. Kumara Swamy Gouda has said that he is relaxed but the situation is going out of his hand. It is reported that some of the Congress MLAs have promised that the BJP leaders that they would pull the government down by January 25. If they cannot do that they will support the BJP and see that it gets a good number of seats in the parliament elections.
The BJP leader Yeddyurappa is waiting for things to unfold slowly. But the Congress leaders are dealing with the speaker and they want the things to get delayed or they want to see that the Assembly is dissolved so that polls can be conducted again along with the parliament.
They want to take the example of Parliament speaker Sumitra Mahajan who has delayed the resignations of YSRCP MPS by 6 months time. The Congress party has 14 rebels who would like to resign and support the BJP. Out of the 14 already 9 are camping in Mumbai.
But if the Speaker delays the resignations the BJP has to wait for things to unfold. It cannot immediately form the Government. A minimum of 13 members must resign from the Congress to pull down the Gowda Government. This will take time. Either the Assembly of Karnataka will be dissolved or simultaneous polls would be held for the Parliament and Assembly in Karnataka soon.
Gowda is not safe and the Government will not lost for long. This crisis cannot be avoided.
