BJP loses confidence in Karnataka, Congress JDS in upbeat mood.
It is victory of Democracy says Rahul Gandhi.
Senior BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa has resigned as Karnataka Chief Minister ahead of confidence motion in the State Assembly.
Making a statement in the Assembly this afternoon, Mr. Yeddyurappa said, he will go to Raj Bhavan and submit his resignation to the Governor Vajubhai Vala. Mr. Yeddyurappa said, he will not face the confidence vote.
Supreme Court had yesterday ordered a floor test in Karnataka assembly at 4 PM today, drastically slashing the 15-day window given by Governor to Mr. Yeddyurappa to prove his majority.
His resignation is likely to pave the way for the formation of a new Government by JD(S) with the support of Congress party. The JD(S) Congress alliance has claimed support of 117 MLAs in the 224 member House with an effective strength of 221.
Polling for two seats was not held due to various reasons, while JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy has won two seats.
We are waiting for invitation from the Governor’s House: JD(S)’s HD Kumaraswamy on being asked when he will take oath as Chief Minister of Karnataka.
The BJP disrespected the mandate of the people of Karnataka, Goa Manipur and it tried to subvert democracy in Karnataka. That’s what we fought against: Congress President RahulGandhi
Did you notice that after the exercise at the Vidhan Sabha in Karnataka, the BJP legislators decided to get up and leave before the National Anthem was played? This shows that they respect no National institution: Congress President.
BJP’s unconstitutional efforts to rule have failed. Their illegal means of manufacturing a majority stands exposed.
Congress & JD(S) have fought & upheld democracy. Karnataka will now get a stable Govt that will focus on Development, says Congress

ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದ ಕಗ್ಗೊಲೆಗೆ ನಡೆದ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಆರೋಪಿಗಳು ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಮತ್ತು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಅಮಿತ್ ಶಹಾ. ಒಬ್ಬರು ಹಿಟ್ಲರ್, ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರು ಗೋಬೆಲ್ಸ್. ಇವರ ಆಟ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ನೆಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯದು.#ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದವಿಜಯ

Poor Mr Yeddyurappa. When the puppeteers fail, the puppet falls and breaks.
