We have nothing to do with it: BJP denies role in resignation of Karnataka MLAs

India TV News  

Karnataka's opposition Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday denied playing any role in the resignation of 11 legislators of the ruling Congress-Janata Dal-Secular coalition in Karnataka. Reiterating his party's stand, Yeddyurappa said the resignations were expected in view of the disgruntlement in many legislators of the ruling alliance with the way their year-old coalition government was functioning. The BJP's state unit has decided to wait for the Speaker's decision on the dozen resignations, including one by Congress lawmaker Anand Singh who gave his letter to Ramesh Kumar on July 1. I have called for a CLP meeting on Sunday to discuss the situation arising out of the rebels resigning from the party," Siddaramaiah told reporters after meeting Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara and party's state working President Eshwar Kandre.
