Congress offers support to JD (S) to form government
Bengaluru: With no party getting a clear majority in Karnataka assembly polls, it is likely that the coalition government of Congress and JD (S) will be formed in Karnataka.
KPCC President Dr. G Parameshwara has said that the Congress party has offered its support to JD (S) in the formation of the government.
Meanwhile, it has been learnt that Congress president Sonia Gandhi has contacted JD (S) chief HD Deve Gowda and discussed the formation of the government.
Though the BJP has emerged as the largest party in terms of maximum seats, It has failed to achieve the magic number (113) required for the formation of government in the state.
While the BJP has won 104 seats, Congress emerged victorious in 78 seats, JDS in 38, and two other candidates have also made their way to state Assembly. However, results are yet to be announced at around 20 constituencies. In this situation, former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy is likely to become Chief Minister once again in the state.
Though the BJP has won more seats, the dream of government formation is far away. The Congress-JDS move has led to the BJP's headache.
