Parties having majority be given chance: Justice Hegde
Bengaluru, May 16: Either a party or a combine of parties which have majority in the Assembly should be given opportunity first to form the government. For no reasons, Manipur and Goa incidents should repeat in the state, said former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde.
Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Bala should convene the Assembly Session immediately and direct the parties to prove their majority in the house. Delay in taking any decision would pave way for horse trading. No party has got a clear mandate in the election to form the government. But it is not fair to try to get the power through alternative means, Justice Hegde said.
