Recently, Karnataka Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) chief BS Yeddyurappa said there is an "atmosphere" for his party to form the government in Karnataka state. Karnataka BJP chief also predicted that the longevity of the Congress-JD(S) coalition in the state would depend on the stand taken by about 20 "disgruntled" Congress legislators after the Lok Sabha election results are announced on May 23.

He dropped hints about his party’s efforts to topple the coalition government in the State by saying that “if Narendra Modi returns to power at the Centre, then definitely a good government will be there in the State.”

Yeddyurappa's statement about the BJP forming government in the state gains significance following his comments of Friday that the longevity of the Congress-JD(S) coalition in the state would depend on the stand taken by about 20 "disgruntled" Congress legislators after the Lok Sabha election results are announced on May 23.

However, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President Dinesh Gundu Rao alleged that BJP has been making efforts to topple the Congress-JD(S) government. "The saffron party will not succeed in its fresh attempt too,'' he said.

He also said JD(S)-Congress government was on a firm wicket and it will foil BJP's attempt to destabilize it.
