Public Works Minister CM Udasi, Energy Minister Shobha Karandlaje, excise minister Renukacharya MP, Minister Basavaraja Bommai water resources, rural development and Panchayat Raj Minister Jagadish Shettar, minister for animal husbandry Revu Naik Belamagi, minister of Agriculture, Umesh Katti, Minister of Housing, V Somanna, minister of small scale industries Narasimha Nayak (Rajugouda) submitted their resignations to Gowda. However, his resignation not yet accepted.
Ministers want disgruntled BJP national leaders to replace Gowda with the BJP state unit president KS Eshwarappa. Apparently, part of the BJP legislators are unhappy with the "tight management" Gowda as he is not entertaining any of their "requests" or "favors".
This is not the first time these nine ministers have resigned in favor of Yeddyurappa. On May 12, when Yeddyurappa made his fifth attempt to return to the CM, who had claimed that seven ministers had resigned to it. He had claimed that their resignations were held in the interest of the party.
The resignation sent shock waves among the national BJP leaders, who are quick to Bangalore this weekend to resolve the latest crisis. The BJP, which are loaded with problems in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat, now has a new crisis in hand. It remains to end the dispute between factions in Himachal.
The confrontation between Gujarat CM, Narendra Modi, and former party general secretary Sanjay Joshi has reached its highest point ever. BJP allies also departs from the saffron party, adding to problems.
Although the national BJP leaders were aware of the crisis in Karnataka, which did not attach much importance to it. The resignations come in the wake of the MP and general secretary Ananth Kumar of BJP declaring support for Gowda on Thursday.
Of the 117 MLAs in the Assembly, more than 50 legislators continue to support Yeddyurappa and Eshwarappa. Another 50 MLAs, including 26 hardcore members of RSS, support Gowda at the request of Ananth Kumar. Of the 50 MLAs extending support to Gowda, 11 are those who were suspended from the Assembly and later reinstated by the Supreme Court. From now on, support and field camp Gowda Yeddyurappa are equally divided.
As Yeddyurappa camp realized that he has lost bargaining power after the entry of Ananth Kumar, who started this threat resignation on Friday morning. If Gowda accepted the resignation of nine ministers, the BJP government will fall short of the force needed to form a simple majority in the Assembly. The strength of the BJP in the Assembly is 120 + 1 (Independent, a minister).
According to sources in the BJP, Gowda has several options before him to save the government. If you accept his resignation, the governor may be forced to ask Gowda to prove his majority in the full House.
"In that case, if the Janata Dal (Secular), which has a soft corner for Sadananda Gowda, refrains from the House, going to work for the CM. He will easily win the confidence motion in terms of force House at that point in time. However, it is premature to make these calculations, because we expect our national leaders to intervene, "said sources in the BJP.
It will be a big problem for Gowda if more ministers and MLAs resign. "From now on, we are trying to save the government. Hope that national leaders would be able to prevail over Yeddyurappa and Eshwarappa," said supporters of Gowda.
