Bengaluru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday reached Golfshire Club in Devanahalli here to meet Janata Dal (Secular) MLAs to discuss Amid the ongoing political crisis in Karnataka.

The deepening crisis in the state has sent senior leaders of both the parties in a huddle with both sides holding a rally of meetings to mitigate the crisis.

Karnataka’s year-old Congress-Janata Dal (S) coalition government is on the brink of collapse after the spate of resignations by the MLAs.

The Karnataka Assembly has 225 members, including one nominated MLA. The halfway mark in the 225-member assembly is 113.

Before the latest spate of resignations, the Congress had 78 MLAs, the JD(S) 37 and the BJP 105. The Congress-JD(S) coalition effectively had the support of 119 MLAs in an Assembly where the halfway mark was 113.
