R Ashok, K G Bopaiah spotted at Hotel Renaissance where disgruntled MLAs are camping
Bengaluru: Though the BJP leaders were claiming that they were not trying to destabilize the coalition government, BJP leaders R Ashok and KG Bopaiah were seen with independent MLAs R Shankar and Nagesh who have camped in Mumbai hotel on Wednesday.
As Speaker Ramesh Kumar said that the resignation letters were not in order, the two BJP leaders flew to Mumbai and held discussion with the disgruntled MLAs and directed them to submit their resignations in proper format, sources said.
It is also said that the BJP leaders have asked the MLAs not to withdraw their resignations. The BJP has already moved to the Supreme Court demanding immediate acceptance of resignation and hoped that they would get favourable judgement. Moreover, the Governor was also in favour of BJP, the BJP leaders said to have informed the MLAs.
So, the disgruntled MLAs have asked DK Shivakumar who arrived to meet them, to return. With the resignation of 16 MLAs, the strength of the coalition government has come down, while BJP leaders are in full swing to form the government.
