Bengaluru: The ongoing political crisis in Karnataka has deepened. Now it's a veil of a constitutional crisis. The Karnataka Assembly failed to take a floor test on Friday. Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on behalf of Governor Vajubhai Wala was given bail till 6 p.m. on Friday to prove his majority in the Karnataka Assembly, but Kumaraswamy could not prove his majority till the scheduled time. Finally, Speaker Ramesh Kumar adjourned the House till 11 am on Monday.
These three possibilities can be made today:- 1. In Karnataka, all eyes are on the Governor today. Letters written three times have been ignored. The Governor will submit his report to the Central Government. One has to see what the Central Government takes on this report.
2. The top court is likely to hear the petition of Congress and the JDS on Saturday. Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy sought clarification from the Supreme Court on the July 17 order allowing 15 rebel MLAs to opt for non-participation in the proceedings of the House. C Kumaraswamy said that the governor was interfering with the power test. On the other hand, Karnataka Congress Unit President Dinesh Gundu Rao also approached the apex court on Friday and claimed that the Court's July 17 order violates the party's right to issue whips to its MLAs.
3. Bjp can hold protests all over the state. BJP MLAs staged a dharna throughout the night in the Assembly on Thursday over the delay in the floor test. BJP leader and former state CM Yeddyurappa have been consistently claiming that he has 106 MLAs. The BJP may also expand its protests.
