Karnataka Crisis: Congress-JD(S) Firefight
The Karnataka government is fighting yet another crisis, and this time, the situation looks bleaker than ever. 13 MLAs have resigned, and some of these leaders have been flown to Mumbai. These MLAs are now staying at a hotel where some BJP leaders have been spotted even as the party continues to deny any role in the developments. Earlier in the day, Congress leaders in Bengaluru were in a huddle and held a series of meetings, including one with H.D Deve Gowda. Karnataka CM Kumaraswamy cut short his US trip and arrived in Bengaluru only to head straight into an emergency JDS meeting. According to sources, the coalition is hopeful that some MLAs will come back. Is the coalition on the brink of collapse or can Kumaraswamy do some damage control?
