Congress,JD(S) in a huddle to discuss next course of action
A day after the resignation of over a dozen ruling Congress-JD(S) MLAs rocked the ruling coalition in Karnataka and plunged the state into a political crisis, both parties have gone into a huddle to discuss the next course of action to save the government.
This comes even as opposition BJP said it is keeping a watch on the ongoing developments and indicated that the party was looking at options to form the government.
Rocked by the resignations of 10 of its MLAs, Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah has convened a meeting Tuesday to discuss the ongoing political developments and the assembly session, starting from July 12.
In an intimation to Congress MLAs, he has warned that their absence would be viewed seriously.
The meeting gains significance amid reports that more legislators are likely to resign in the next couple of days.
Congress leaders, including AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal who has camped here, have been holding a series of meetings on Sunday .
