With Supreme Court, rejecting the decision taken by High Court for disqualification of 16 MLAs during the Oct 2010 vote for confidence held in order to save the BJP Government in Karnataka State.
The decision has hit back CM Yeddyurappa very hardly and is on back seat, with once again on the verge of loosing the Government in the state. However, this time, BJP top leaders have extended their support to the Chief Minister and has decided to take this issue to the President of India office. BJP Leaders Nitin Gadkari, L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj with Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa went on March to the President office on 17th May with 121 MLA support to them. This was type of strength showcase done by Karnataka CM and also produce his recommendation to the President.
BJP Leaders and CM has recommended President to recall Karnataka Governor H R Bhardwaj immediately also rejecting the plea of Presidents rule in the state. H R Bhardwaj has recommended to dissolve the Government and impose President rule in the state.
However, BJP has stated that Governor has been acting not as representative of the state or Government, but acting a person who works on guidelines issued by Congress head office. If the recommendation of Presidents rule is accepted, then Congress is thinking of making it valid for six months and then start spreading bad words about BJP and after six month declare election in the state. It was protest all across Bangalore city today, with Congress protesting on removal of CM Yeddyurappa and BJP Leader protesting on removal of Governor HR Bhardwaj.
The Karnataka Assembly has 225 seats; without the 11 BJP 'rebel' MLAs, Mr Yeddyurappa will have 109 supporters, which is short of the half-way mark of 117. So their support is crucial for his government and today CM Yeddyurappa had 121 MLA with him for the President March. BJP has spent a good amount for its 16 BJP who are very crucial in order to gain majority in the state.
