Hours after Public Works Minister C M Udasi and Energy Minister Shobha Karandlaje gave their resignations to Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, the two along with 11 MLAs went to the Assembly Speaker's office to submit their resignation.
As neither Speaker K G Bopaiah, who was not in station, nor the Assembly Legislature Secretary Omprakash were present when the MLAs arrived and waited for an hour, an enraged Yeddyurappa rushed there, insisting that the Shettar government had been reduced to a minority.
In a high drama, the agitated MLAs insisted that some official of assembly secretariat either receive their resignation letters or give an acknowledgement that they are not empowered to receive them.
Assembly Joint Secretary Jayatheertha Galali told the MLAs "as Joint Secretary I can't accept it. Please come and submit resignations when Speaker comes to office".
Yeddyurappa, who recently floated the Karnataka Janata Party, said: "Shettar government has been reduced to a minority. He has no moral right to continue in office. He should call off his tour, return to the city and resign." .
Yeddyurappa also attacked Bopaiah, who, he said, had been alerted yesterday about the resignation of MLAs, but has left on a tour.
"It is a shameless government.Shettar should meet the Governor and tender resignation of his government", he said.
"We will tell the Governor that this government cannot continue in office as it has been reduced to a minority".
Shettar, who left on an official tour in parts of North Karnataka, confirmed that the two ministers have resigned. Udasi said they have been hurt by the attitude of Shettar towards MLAs and Ministers supporting Yeddyurappa, adding, the time has come to build KJP.
A cloud of uncertainty has been hanging over the Shettar ministry ever since Yeddyurappa quit the party to float his KJP in December last. The former BJP strongman has repeatedly put the government on notice about their stability, claiming support of 20-30 BJP MLAs.
Yeddyurappa's party had set two deadlines earlier to unseat the government but they turned out to be damp squibs.
Brushing aside the threats to his government, Shettar has said he would present the state budget on February 8, the last ahead of assembly polls due in May.
The MLAs who have offered to quit are C M Udasi, Nehru Olekar, Thippeswamy, B P Harish, H Halappa, Suresh Gowda Patil, Shobha Karandlaje, S I Chikkangoudar, Suresh, G Shivanna, Chandrappa, V S Patil and Basavaraj Patil Attur.
There are many corrupt leaders in BJP from Karanataka and in other state as well.BJP always use the leaders and then dump them.But BSY is one of the strong leaders on his own...he established BJP in Karnataka.Anathkumar, Dy CM R Ashok, Eshwarappa,Sureshkumar are not corrupt? did these people not made money? In national level Recent President Gadkari also corrupt,how he spent CORES of money on his both son's marriage.90% of BJP leaders are corrupt and in general 90% politicians are corrupt.I am being a brahmin...its a fact that Bramhins are dominated in BJP and they dnt want to see a NOn_ Brahmin leader is growing...All community people are in support of Yeddy.BJP will not get more than 25 seats in next election.Its fact.Alreday there is infighting betwn Eshwarappa vs Anathkumar and ashok.Most of the BJP MLA's Join other parties including KJP.BJP is working as biased party...Now they are seeking support of corrupt Reddy brothers...why? BJP is supporting corruption and they will drama..
Yediyurappa would be recognised in Maharashtra-{Goa} as Weda Yurapopa. The Sangha Pariwar (RSS-BJP-VHP-BD) is an idealistic conglomerat. If Yediyurappa didn't care for the Hindutwa ideals, whyeverfor he had joined the BJP? He could have made money in any other field. He has caused a great damage to the Hindutwa cause. He has betrayed his voters and formed the Janata Party. Suddenly it has dawned on him that he was secular at heart. The only honourable duty Mr Shettar should perform is to resign and go for the election. No doubt the wise electorate of Karnatak would teach a lesson to Wedayurappa and his thirteen traitors. Mr Gadkari ought to have also resigned his presidentship earlier to enhance the RSS-BJP image.
What these idiots are thinking ? Can they do whatever they want ? think dear people of Karnataka.... Maaro aise haraam kor ko and save our karnataka.
BSY, Shobha, Udasi etc got elected on BJP ticket. Announcing resignation and acting to pull down govt amounts to blantant deception and fraud played on electors. Did these men consulted their voters who voted them under the belief that they would be part of BJP if voted to power. Now abandoning the BJP they played foul. Let these traitors be taught a lesson.
It is better to lose power than to succumb to the pressure of BSY. This is the time for BJP to restore credibility and show to the people of Karnatka that BJP will not compromise with Corrupt just for the sake of power. Surely BSY is going to lick the dust as Keshubhai Patel has in Gujrat.
keep on dreaming. bjp wont get even 50 seats this time. yeddyurappa was the person who brought the bjp into power. shettar, eswarappa, ananth kumar cant even win a grama panchayat. 5 more months of your BJP, then bye bye to bay of bengal .
Itis unfortunate that Shri Yaduveerappa has done much damage to BJP due to his ego but BJP must take strong measures to tackle the crisis.Iam congraluating BJP leadership as they have not surrendered prestiage of Party in this matter.
C M Udasi and Shobha Karandlaje, people knows it is bit difficult to make money under Jagdish Shettar government. But remember to take all the money with you made illegally under your admired, corrupt Yeddyurappa.
There can be no other politition as shameless as Mr. Yediyurappa. He went to jail on corruption charges and he is facing many such cases. He has dented the image of the party , otherwise BJP has a better record. He has to come clean first and then play his politics. What a dirty politition ?
