'What is standing in way of Governor from extending invitation to HD Kumaraswamy?' asks Chidambaram

Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday said that Congress & JD(S) clearly establish majority yet Governor hasn't taken decision to invite Shri Kumaraswamy to form govt.

While addressing media, Chidambaram said,''We heard Guv may have invited BS Yeddyurappa but since it is not confirmed we are proceeding on basis that Guv has not decided to invite anyone.''

Chidambaram said,''Governor holds an exalted constitutional office, he shouldn't walk on a perilous path which is illegal,he's bound by SC judgement,bound to invite leader of alliance which is presented to him as an alliance that commands maturity of members in legislative assembly.

''What is standing in way of the Governor from extending invitation to leader of the alliance (HD Kumaraswamy), who clearly demonstrated that he commands the support of the majority?,'' P.Chidambaram said in Delhi.
