Bengaluru: After eight Congress and three JDS lawmakers reached the assembly speaker’s office, reportedly to submit their resignation, Minister DK Shivakumar on Saturday said the Congress-JDS government will not collapse.

Speaking to Media persons said, “Nobody will resign. I had come to meet them.”

Meanwhile, senior Congress leaders including Siddaramaiah, G Parameshwar and MB Patil hold a meeting, informed sources.

A major crisis hit Karnatka with fourteen Congress and JDS MLAs ready to resign. They have reached the assembly Speaker’s office in the Vidhana Soudha and are waiting for him.

The Speaker is not present and is at a private hospital on a visit. They have now submitted resignation to the secretary of the Speaker’s office. MLAs are likely to go to Raj Bhavan next to meet the Governor and update him about the same.

In the 224-member Karnataka assembly, the Congress has 79 legislators including Mr Singh and Mr Jarkiholi. The JDS has 37 legislators. It also has the support of a BSP legislator and an Independent. Even without two lawmakers who quit, the coalition still has a majority with 116 legislators.

The BJP has 105 MLAs. State BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa insists the party has nothing to do with the walkout by the Congress legislators – and says if the government falls, the BJP should be invited to form government.
