HD Kumaraswamy Back, Karnataka Ruling Coalition Holds Meeting | Read

Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, back in India after a private visit to the US, launched straight into damage control measures, with a meeting of top leaders of the ruling Congress-Janata Dal Secular (JDS) alliance. Sources close to him said at least some of the rebel lawmakers of the ruling coalition, who resigned over the last week, bringing the government to the verge of collapse, may return to the fold. Through the day, his father HD Deve Gowda held a string of meetings with leaders of his party as well as the Congress. If the resignation of all 13 lawmakers is accepted, the government of the Congress and JDS which has a wafer-thin majority, could collapse.
