The ongoing high-drama in Karnataka politics came to an end (for now). The MLAs , who were supposedly having discussions with BJP, back home today and JDS-Congress government led by Kumaraswamy is happy for averting a crisis for now.
Some recent events actually gave sleepless nights to JDS-Congress alliance. Two independents withdrawing support for Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s government, Karnatka BJP MLAs gathering in a Gurgaon resort, some Congress MLAs getting in touch with BJP leadership – all these events became headlines in last couple of days and there were debates about Kumaraswamy government being pulled down. Even though Kumaraswamy was saying, he is relaxed, analysts were carefully observing the situation.
However, today, crucial CLP meet is scheduled and Congress MLAs came back to attend the meeting. Also, BJP MLAs also coming in batches back to Bengaluru from Gurgaon. Dinesh Gundu Rao, the Karnataka Congress chief made a sarcastic statement that, “We extend a hearty welcome to all Karnataka BJP MLAs who are returning home after an extended holiday at a luxury resort near Delhi”. Kumaraswamy today slammed the BJP for making “futile attempts” to destabilize his government. He lambasted saffron party for keeping even it’s own MLAs also in “confinement” at Gurgaon.
So, there is no immediate threat to Kumaraswamy government and Kumaraswamy expressed his confident of surviving for entire 5 years of the mandate.
