"Why should I resign? What is the necessity?" he told the media.
Rejecting speculations that he will resign after the cabinet meeting on Thursday, Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy told the media that there was no need for him to resign. "Why should I resign? What is the necessity?" he told the media. When asked how he could continue since 16 MLAs had resigned, Kumaraswamy said, "In 2008- 2009, 18 MLAs had rebelled against BS Yeddyurappa. Did he resign?" Kumaraswamy retorted. The Congress- JD(S) coaltion has just 101 MLAs in the assembly, including the Speaker and BSP MLA Mahesh. However, the coalition hopes that they will be able to convice at least a few MLAs to take back their resignations. With Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar saying that the MLAs have to come before him personally to submit their resignations, the Congress hopes that once these MLAs reach Bengaluru, they will be able to meet and convince them.
