Yeddyurappa respected democracy by resigning, says BJP; Amit Shah and Narendra Modi have been shown that institutions are bigger than them, says Rahul Ganhi.
Newly sworn-in Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa resigned on the floor of the House without facing the floor test.
Mr. Yeddyurappa gave an emotional speech in the House and said he was not moving the motion, but instead would go to the Governor to submit his resignation.
The proceedings of the House were telecast live, as per the Supreme Court order on Friday. Senior BJP MLA K.G. Bopaiah, had been appointed as the Pro Tem Speaker to oversee the proceedings.
BJP, with 104 seats, was seven short of the required number of 111.
The Congress with 78 MLAs, the JD(S) with 36 and three others were also individually not in a position to form the government.
Kumaraswamy to become CM on Wednesday
With the fall of BJP’s three-day-old government in Karnataka, H D Kumaraswamy heading the Congress-JDS coalition is set to become the chief minister for a second time on May 23.
Governor Vajubhai Vala today invited Kumaraswamy, who is the leader of Congress-JD(S) joint legislature party, to form the government.
“On the invitation of the Governor I have met him on the basis of the request we had submitted on May 15 for the formation of Congress-JD(S) coalition government....he has invited us to form the government,” Kumaraswamy, who is also state JD(S) chief, said.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Vala, he said the Governor has directed him to prove the majority on the floor of the House in 15 days but he would do it much before.
Kumaraswamy said the swearing-in ceremony would take place tentatively between 12 and 1.50 pm at Kanteerava stadium.
CPI(M) demands Vala’s resignation
The CPI(M) has demanded Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala’s resignation as his decision “proved to be wrong” with Mr. Yeddyurappa’s resignation.
The Governor’s decision to invite BJP to form the government was “mala fide” and “against his constitutional mandate”, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury tweets. “If the Governor of Karnataka has any shame left, he should submit his resignation as well. The Union ministers sitting in Bangalore, facilitating and enabling corrupt deals, are equally culpable.”
“The corrupt and criminal designs of the BJP have been defeated,” he says. “The misuse of all democratic institutions and flouting of all constitutional norms, by using black money and corrupt criminals, by (Prime Minister) Modi and (BJP president) Shah to subvert the people’s mandate will not be forgotten. This goes well beyond Karnataka.”
JD(S)-Congress coalition will not last long, says Ananth Kumar
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar says the coalition government of Congress and the JD(S) would not last long as it was an “unholy nexus.”
“BJP alone can give a stable government,” Mr. Kumar tells reporters soon after Mr. Yeddyurappa’s resignation. The party cadres would not sit idle even for a minute and would take the “Congress’ story of betrayal” to every village of Karnataka, he says.
“The new government born out of unholy nexus of Congress and JD(S) won’t stay for long. Only BJP can give the stable government. The mandate was given to BJP as the people of the state had rejected Congress,” he says.
Mr. Kumar says people of Karnataka rejected the Congress and people of Chamundeshwari constituency rejected Mr. Siddaramaiah whereas JD(S) became a “marginal” party. “It is a shame for the Congress party that despite having 78 seats, they have fallen at the feet of JD(S) just to stop BJP,” he said.
Yeddyurappa respects democracy, says BJP
“Today Yeddyurappa has taught the world how to respect democracy. He has touched the people,’ says Union Minister Prakash Javadekar in a press conference.
“Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress has defeated BJP. BJP has defeated Congress. We had 40 seats earlier and now we have 104. From 122 seats, Congress came down to 78,” he added.
“The sitting Chief Minister lost. 14 Ministers have lost. Rahul Gandhi’s statement is laughable. Congress has adopted a strategy of ‘spit and run,’” he says.
“Congress and JD(S) are in an alliance now. But during campaigning they insulted the JD(S). It is an opportunistic alliance. It has now been proved that JD(S) is the B team of the Congress,” said the Information and Broadcasting Minister.

Awaiting governor’s invite, says Kumaraswamy
Mr. Kumaraswamy says the Congress-JD(S) combine is not in a hurry and was awaiting an invitation from the Karnataka Governor to form government. “We are not in a hurry. We are waiting for an invitation from the Governor,” he tells the media, soon after the Mr. Yeddyurappa’s resignation.
Asked about the future course of action, Mr. Kumaraswamy says the leaders of the Congress and the JD(S) would sit together and take a decision on it.
Victory of the regional front, says Mamata Banerjee
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the fall of the three-day-old BJP government was a “victory of the regional front” and of democracy.
“Democracy wins. Congratulations Karnataka. Congratulations DeveGowda Ji, Kumaraswamy Ji, Congress and others. Victory of the ‘regional’ front (sic),” she said in a tweet.
Akhilesh Yadav demands Centre's resignation
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav tweeted saying the BJP should resign at the Centre on moral grounds.
"Today is the day of victory for the Opposition instead of money power. Those who claim to buy everybody have got this lesson today that there are still people left in India's politics who do not consider politics as business like them. The central government should resign on moral grounds," he tweeted.
Yeddyurappa resignation victory for rule of law: Siddaramaiah
Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah termed the resignation of Mr. Yeddyurappa without facing the floor test as “a victory of the Constitution of India and rule of law”.
The BJP not only misused constitutional offices like that of the Governor, but also tried every dirty trick in the book to woo our MLAs by even offering them bribe, which has been exposed with evidence, he said. “I am very proud that our MLAs did not fall prey to them and did not let communal forces capture power in the State."
