K'taka crisis: Prez receives Gov report

New Delhi, Oct 9: President Pratibha Patil has received the report of Karnataka Governor Rameshwar Thakur in which he has recommended the dissolution of the State Assembly.

''The proposal is under consideration by the government,'' official sources said today.

The proposal is expected to come up for discussion at a meeting of the Union Cabinet to be chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh this evening.

The Governor sent in his report last evening following the resignation of Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy after his government was reduced to a minority with the BJP withdrawing its support.
