Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy will attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister elect Narendra Modi in Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday. The Chief Minister said that he will also meet Rahul Gandhi during his Delhi visit and ask him to continue as the president of the AICC. The announcement of his visit was made amidst hectic developments at the Kumara Krupa Government Guest House in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The CM met with the top brass of the state Congress including former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and AICC Karnataka-in-charge KC Venugopal. Others present in the meeting were Deputy CM G Parameshwara, Water Resources Minister and Congress’ troubleshooter in chief DK Shivakumar, Home Minister MB Patil and KPCC chief Dinesh Gundu Rao. The was the first formal meeting between the top leaders of the ruling coalition after they suffered a drubbing in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls. However, all the leaders assured that there was no threat to the state government. This amidst the speculation that a re-energized BJP might succeed in making the dissident Congress MLAs, especially led by Ramesh Jarkiholi resign. Following the meeting, former CM Siddaramaiah reiterated that there won’t be a rejig in the state cabinet to accommodate dissenting Congress MLAs. Over the course of Wednesday and Thursday, the Congress MLAs are set to meet to chalk out the future course of action. Speaking on this, KPCC president Gundu Rao said, “We have a road map for the future. We will discuss how government programs can help the people of the state. MLAs getting ministerial positions is not important.” Meanwhile, BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa has claimed that his party would not make any efforts to destabilise the government. Instead, he said, the government will itself dissolve due to infighting among the Congress and JD(S). Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Yeddyurappa said, “We don't have any feeling that we have to go for elections. It is certain that they (Congress and JDS) will go home fighting each other. We will wait. We are 105 (MLAs), we are ready to wait." "Our legislators also feel that the government will fall because of their infighting and let's wait. There is no need to talk about dissolving the assembly or anything else. Let them (Congress-JDS) work efficiently or resign and go home. Instead of that by creating an atmosphere of confusion and loot they are indulging in, they cannot be forgiven," he added.
