This development comes in the wake of nine Congress and three JD(S) MLAs tendering their resignation and later meeting with the Governor.

The independent MLA, H Nagesh headed to Raj Bhavan to put in his papers. This comes in the wake of the Congress holding a key meeting in the city, chaired by Dr. G Parameshwar.

Earlier Congress MP, D K Suresh accused the BJP and said that its leaders were behind the crisis. You can see for yourself what the BJP leaders are doing in the Mumbai hotel. In whose flight were the MLAs carted away to Mumbai, he asked.
