We’re waiting for Governor’s decision: Azad
Bengaluru, May 16: Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad said that both KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar and JDS state president HD Kumaraswamy have submitted their letter seeking permission to form the government and they are waiting for the message of the Governor.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Azad said that the Congress and JDS have more numbers than actually required to form the government. But the BJP does not have that magic number to claim formation of government. Even the Supreme Court has given a clear verdict that in case of hung assembly, two or more parties could join together and form the government. So, without wasting the time, the Governor should invite the Congress and JDS to form the government, he demanded.
As there is a chance for horse trading if the Governor is delayed in conveying his message, the Governor should not give room for such developments. He should use his Constitutional power and allow the coalition to form the government. Otherwise, the Congress would sit in dharna in front of the Gandhi statue before Vidhana Soudha and all leaders from Congress and JDS would take part in it, Azad said.
