Bjp And Yeddyurappa

A mysterious letter has surfaced in Karnataka, neither signed by anyone and nor addressed to anyone, which is critical of BJP chief minister, BS Yediyurappa's style of functioning. The letter which accuses him of favouring his family members and not allowing anybody else to grow, is seen as a signal of friction within the BJP.

An estimated 60 per cent of the total 37.78 lakh voters cast their vote until 5:24 pm on Thursday in 15 assembly constituencies of Karnataka, where bypolls were held, the results of which would determine the longevity of the BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government. The by-elections were held to fill the vacancies caused due to the disqualification of 17 ...

Karnataka to have 3 deputy chief ministers as BS Yediyurappa announces cabinet portfolios

BJP president Amit Shah on Friday congratulated BS Yediyurappa after he took oath as Karnataka chief minister, and expressed confidence that the party will run a stable, pro-farmer and development-oriented government under him.

Things have changed for Karnataka BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa, and that goes for more than just his political fortunes. He has now reverted to spelling his name the old way, with an "i" instead of the second "d".

The Congress and JD(S) today hit out at the BJP and the ''BJP-backed Governor'' for allowing BS Yediyurappa to form the government in Karnataka through "unconstitutional means", alleging that democracy was being "butchered" in the state.

Amit Shah, BJP president, would have preferred to tread cautiously on Karnataka but gave in after an emotional Yediyurappa called him at midnight and said it was his "last chance to be Karnataka CM".

Showing remarkable momentum on Karnataka three days after the HD Kumaraswamy-led coalition government fell in a trust vote, the ruling BJP gave BS Yediyurappa the go-ahead in the early hours of this morning to stake claim to power. The clincher, say sources, was a video call between Karnataka BJP leaders and rebel lawmakers whose resignations enabl...

The BJP's BS Yediyurappa will be sworn in for the fourth time as Karnataka Chief Minister soon, three days after the coalition government led by HD Kumaraswamy failed a test of strength. Mr Yediyurappa met with Governor Vajubhai Vala this morning to stake claim and urged him to schedule an oath ceremony today. Mr Yediyurappa has to prove his majori...

The BJP is unwilling to stake claim to form a government in Karnataka till the Speaker takes a decision on the 16 rebel legislators who brought down the coalition government of the Congress and HD Kumaraswamy, news agency IANS reported today, quoting party spokesman G Madhusudan.

A day after the Congress's coalition government in Karnataka crashed in a trust vote, a BJP leader's threat in Congress-ruled Madhya Pradesh caused a flutter. "One order from the top and your government won't survive," a BJP lawmaker said to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Wednesday.

Only three chief ministers -- all from the Congress -- have been able to complete their full five-year term in the history of Karnataka, which saw the H D Kumaraswamy-led coalition government losing the confidence motion in the Assembly on Tuesday after just 14 months in power.

With smiles and victory signs, the BJP today prepared to take power in Karnataka 14 months after it failed to rustle up the numbers to rule after the assembly election in which no party could win a majority.

The one-year-old coalition government of the Congress and HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular - teetering for weeks -- collapsed on Tuesday, paving the way for the BJP's return to power in Karnataka. The coalition failed the floor test in the assembly, cobbling up only 99 votes in comparison to the 105 votes of the BJP, which later dubbed it a "Gam...

The floor test for the HD Kumaraswamy government is about to begin at the Karnataka assembly at the end of two days of turbulence. Over the last weeks, 16 coalition legislators have resigned and two Independents withdrew support to the government and the trust vote has been pending since last week. Hours before, there was high drama in the northern...
