Mr Nanjegowda urges Governor to invite BJP to form the Government

Bangalore, Oct 31 (UNI) Former Karnataka Minister H N Nanjegowda today urged Governor Rameshwar Thakur to invite Bharatiya Janata Party to form the coalition government with the help of JD (S) in the state.

In a letter to the Governor, copy of which was released to the press here, he said that the Governor has no alternative but to invite Mr B S Yeddyurappa, who has been elected as Leader of the joint Legislative Party.

Mr Nanje Gowda said that "it is to be noted that you have already initiated the process of government formation by resorting to requiring the coalition parties to submit individual affidavits intended to authenticate their support to the leader and as a follow up measure of abundant caution and evidence you have allowed them to physically appear before you in a parade", he said.

"So in effect you have unequivocally endorsed the position that the coalition has an unchallenged and constitutional authority to form the government," he added.
