Another Independent Karna Minister resigns, supports BJP
Bengaluru: Karnataka Minister and Independent MLA R Shankar Monday resigned from the H D Kumaraswamy cabinet and extended support to the opposition BJP.
Shankar met state Governor Vajubhai Vala and conveyed his decision to support BJP, a communication from the Raj Bhavan said.
The Ranebennur MLA, who quit as Municipal Administration Minister, later left for Mumbai.
His move came shortly after another independent MLA and Minister H Nagesh resigned from the council of ministers and withdrew support to the 13-month old Kumaraswamy-led government.
The withdrawal of support by the two MLAs to the government has dealt another blow to the coalition which is tottering on the brink of collapse after 13 MLAs of the combine resigned Saturday.
With Shankar's decision, the BJP's numbers in the 224-member assembly has gone up to 107 while the strength of the ruling coalition has come down to 116 excluding the Speaker. The half-way mark is 113.
If the Speaker accepts the resignation of the 13 MLAs, the government numbers will fall to 103.

"Operating vehicles in a reckless manner on public roads is a non-negotiable violation of the law," a senior traffic police officer said.
"An FIR has been registered under sections pertaining to rash and negligent driving and endangering human life," the officer added.
Police have approached the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to extract the full details of the vehicle’s owner. While the registration number has been confirmed, officials are verifying the insurance documents and the identity of the person driving the car at the time of the incident.
