K'taka: JD(S)-BJP to ink MoU on power-sharing
Bangalore,
Nov
15:
In
what
could
be
a
first
in
Indian
politics,
the
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
and
the
Janata
Dal-Secular
in
Karnataka
are
likely
to
sign
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
that
will
outline
guidelines
for
the
sharing
of
power
and
for
smooth
running
of
a
government.
According to a website report, the inking of the MoU has been mooted by the Janata Dal (Secular) to neutralise the BJP from hijacking the policies of the coalition that has been in existence for 20 months prior to the resignation of the Kumaraswamy ministry last month.
The signing of the pact is expected to take place on November 18, a day before Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa seeks a vote of confidence for his coalition government on the floor of the State Assembly.
Former Prime Minister H.D.DeveGowda is said to be the architect of the contents of the 12-point MoU.
One of the points in the MoU has already been implemented with the swearing in of Yeddyurappa as chief minister.
A Deputy Chief Minister is likely to be announced on November 21 when the JD-S ministers join the ministry.
