Bs Yeddyurappa  

Amit Shah’s alleged decision to ask Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa to go for the jugular by handing over phone tapping to the CBI is a well-thought decision, say sources. By using the CBI, the opponents can be kept under check.
 

Now when the BJP leader is sworn in as the CM of Karnataka for the fourth time, we'll have to wait and see if the 'I' in ‘Yediyurappa’ will bring him good luck, and not remain a 2018 repeat. Yediyurappa is to face floor test on Monday (July 29)

The Bharatiya Janata Party has taken a huge gamble by staking claim to form government in Karnataka, with no robust numbers on its side.

 

Revenge politics takes centre stage in Karnataka. While the BJP defeated the coalition government in the recent trust vote, Just For Laughs on MyNation tells you how the Speaker, in turn, left the BJP speechless by disqualifying three of the rebels

BS Yeddyurappa, the state BJP president will be sworn in at 6 pm today as the CM of Karnataka

Karnataka: Yeddyurappa to request Governor to stake claim to form government, wants to take oath as chief minister today.

A Karnataka BJP delegation led by senior BJP leader Jagadish Shettar, comprising MLAs like Aravind Limbavali, Madhuswamy and Raghavendra met national president Amit Shah to discuss the prospect of forming a government. But it is learnt that Shah is not too sanguine as there are a lot of obstacles

Karnataka Congress MLA Zameer Ahmed Khan had challenged Yeddyurappa, saying that there was no way that the state BJP president would become the CM. “If Yeddyurappa becomes the chief minister, I will work as watchman in his house for a day”, Zameer had said earlier.
 

Led by senior BJP leader Jagadish Shettar, a BJP delegation left for New Delhi last night (July 24) and is camping there to meet national president Amit Shan and working president JP Nadda to apprise them of the prospect of forming a government in Karnataka.

 On a day of hectic political developments, the BJP accused the coalition government of issuing appointments when it didn’t have the right to do so because of its minority status while caretaker chief minister and his father, former PM HD Deve Gowda accused the BJP of inducing fissures in the coalition.

The game begins now! As incumbent chief minister HD Kumaraswamy who resigned, failed in the trust vote and BS Yeddyurappa will get to hold the reins, he will realise that the accommodation of 15 rebel MLAs in the government will not be practically feasible.

Karnataka BJP president BS Yeddyurappa is awaiting orders from Delhi to convene a legislative party meet before meeting the Governor in a bid to form government.
 

Chief minister HD Kumaraswamy-led coalition suffered an ignominious defeat in the trust vote, with the BJP securing 105 as against 99 by the coalition.

Kumaraswamy-led govt loses trust vote 99 - 105. The voting took place under the Speaker Ramesh Kumar's supervision.

Karnataka crisis is status quo and the opposition is waiting for the government to fall, but the coalition government is delaying the trust vote, making sure they buy time to make a desperate attempt to restore the House in order. Exasperated? Here is how Karnataka politics looks right now, especially after the Chandrayaan 2 launch.
