Print New Delhi: Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, whose government is in trouble following the resignation of two ministers, met Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh early this morning in the capital.
The visit was dubbed a courtesy call from Mr Shettar to congratulate Mr Singh on his election as BJP president last week.
Mr Singh said that he is absolutely certain that the Karnataka government will continue to remain in majority and that "there is no crisis". He added, "I have no advice to give to Mr Shettar as he is a thoroughly experienced and competent politician."
Minister for Public Works CM Udasi and Minister for Energy Shobha Karandlaje, who quit the Karnataka government last week, are expected to join the new party founded by BS Yeddyurappa, who exited the BJP in December after 40 years.
There are 13 other state legislators from the BJP who say they want to quit the government. They were set to resign earlier this week, but the Speaker of the Assembly, KG Bopaiah, was not in town. Therefore, they submitted their resignations in writing to the Governor, HR Bhardwaj. If 18 legislators in total resign, the government will be in a minority.
On Saturday, the governor had said that he would not seek a confidence vote for now and that he would "review the situation if more legislators resign."
The Karnataka Assembly has 223 members, apart from the speaker and a nominated legislator. The BJP has 119 seats and the opposition Congress and Janata Dal(S) together have 97 seats. There are seven independent legislators, who hold the key if a trust vote is called for.
Mr Yeddyurappa has been threatening to bring down the BJP’s first government in south India since last year, when he accused his party of reneging on a promise to give him a powerful position. He was forced to resign as chief minister after he was indicted for corruption in a report on illegal mining.
The party tried to assuage him by allowing him to pick his replacement, not once but twice. In both cases, Mr Yeddyurappa turned against his successors. He has vowed to defeat the BJP in the state elections this year with his Karnataka Janata Party (KJP).
