Karnataka political drama News

Gowda's statement comes at a time when the ruling Congress-JDS government has levelled horse trading allegations on BJP, claiming that it is trying to topple the seven-month-old coalition government.

BJP asking for some more time and Governor giving 15-day time was a mockery of democracy, said Rajinikanth.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi should prove to nation his commitment to fight against corruption, said the Congress.

Curtains came down on the political drama in Karnataka on Saturday with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader BS Yeddyurappa resigning as the Chief Minister of the state without going for a floor test. The move by Yeddyurappa paved the way for Janata Dal Secular (JDS)-Congress alliance to come to power in the state with HD Kumaraswamy as the Chief Minister.

While BJP is confident of proving its majority on the floor of the House when needed, Janata Dal Secular and Congress leaders claim that they have the numbers.

While Rahul Gandhi said that Yeddyurapapa becoming Karnataka CM was "mockery of Constitution", Amit Shah hit back calling Congress-JDS alliance in the state "opportunist".

Bollywood actor Uday Chopra, who was trolled on Twitter for a tweet referring to Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala as a “BJP guy”, has hit back at those who mocked him on the microblogging platform. Responding to tweets mocking him, the Dhoom actor said that “in a democracy a loser is allowed to have opinions too”.
