Bengaluru: Congress-JD(S) combine still fears 'Operation Kamala', cabinet formation after trust vote


Daijiworld Media Network – Bengaluru (DC)

Bengaluru, May 21: H D Kumaraswamy is all set to take oath as the next chief minister of Karnataka on Wednesday May 23. But the rest of his cabinet will be sworn-in after trust vote.

The decision to finalize the ministry will be delayed since the Congress-JD(S) combine still fears poaching by the BJP. If the portfolios are distributed to the leaders on the CM’s swearing-in day, there are chances of ministerial post aspirants cross-voting for the BJP during trust vote.

Hence both the parties have decided to finalize the cabinet after the trust vote.

After swearing-in as the chief minister on Wednesday, Kumaraswamy will prove the majority in the House on Thursday May 24. On Friday the cabinet will be formed.

Though initially the chief minister and the new ministers were supposed to take oath, since the number of aspirants of ministerial berths is more than 60, they have decided to delay the cabinet formation. Dalit, Lingayat and Muslim community leaders have demanded the deputy chief minister's post. It is feared that the aspirants who missed ministerial posts might cross vote while proving majority and the BJP too will not leave any stone unturned and resort to 'Operation Kamala.'

H D Kumaraswamy said, "The Governor has given us 15 days time to prove the majority. But within 24-hours after my oath taking, I will prove the majority and our alliance is strong with required numbers to form the government.”

Congress Karnataka in-charge K C Venugopal, said, "H D Kumaraswamy will swear-in as the chief minister on Wednesday. After the election of Speaker on Thursday, he will prove the majority in the House. The new ministers will take oath on Friday."

BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa had on Saturday stepped down as the chief minister without facing the floor test in the state assembly as the BJP fell short of numbers, following which Kumaraswamy met Governor Vajubhai Vala, and said he had been invited to form the government.

The Karnataka assembly polls threw up a fractured verdict, with the BJP emerging as the single largest party with 104 seats. Congress and JD(S), who stood second and third respectively by number of seats won, are forming the government now.

    Two likely scenarios will emerge from now till General elections:
    1. Congress JD-S divorce: In this case, re-election or presidential rule until general election if the divorce is bitter enough to not last till the general elections.
    2. Defection from JD-S after general elections: Defection en-masse from JD-S to BJP with numbers large enough to ensure that Anti-defection law is not a problem.
    Either way, Congress-mukt bharath seems to be a certainty.

    JDS is an unethical party and shame to call it a party, its just one family. Devegowda who is a curse to Karnataka is a drama-king . It was Devegowda who suggested Kumaraswamy to go alliance with BJP in 2004 play first in 20 -20 and pull the leg when Yeddy's turn comes and the same Deve cried in public that Kumara is not my son blah blah. When they cannot keep a promise how can they keep promises of people. Deve cheats muslim voters by making sentimental statements that he wants to be born as a muslim in his next life, why not this bugger convert in this life itself. The coastal and north Karnataka people have rejected JDS and why the people have to suffer from these demons family for next 5 years. Congress who is atl east better than JDS has also now become unethical by showing tactics that enemy's enemy is my friend. Kumaraswamy who betrayed his legitimate wife will also betray the people of Karnataka. Anyways this relation between JDS-Cong will not last for more that few weeks and if continues it will be like all scoring 35 in exams will be given first rank and and one scoring 95 will be made fail. Do we need this?

    What a shame to K;ta kidnapping their OWN MLA here and there and shifting them out of K'ta too just because they don't trust each other.. Whatever it is Kumaraswamy is 200% better than arrogant siddu. Thanks to people of K'ta for bringing CONG 78 from 123 and BJP 40 to 104. JDS lost deposit in all Coastal constituency..But Manglore Udupi JDS leaders are happy as Kumarswamy Becoming CM.

    Mr. Sri_elder, karkala
    I know you all people shocked to hear the verdict of SC in this regard. Because for the past 4 years SC was dancing according to your BJP leaders tunes and giving verdict in favour of them. Now some of the SC judges inner soul woke up and said what all wrong things you people have done, now its time to correct. So, they gave the verdict as per the book of law, thereby uplifting the constitutional rights.
    I feel pity to read you blind bhakths comments, who expect everything to be in your favour, eventhough it is wrong. No one can blame you, because your party leaders have injected negativity in your mind and soul, thereby it is very difficult to change your mind.
    And Which mandate you are talking about, is it EVM mandate ? Its not peoples mandate. If peoples mandate is counted, the result would have been reversed. Go and check the vote share of each parties where congress got 38%, BJP got 36.2% and JDS got 18.3%. By winning more number of seats it doesn't mean people voted for BJP. If it is so, they should have got atleast 65-70% vote share, because the Hindu population itself is 84% in Karnataka. Then why BJP didn't get major vote share. Because most of the educated Hindus believe in true development and peaceful life in the society. They can make out which is true and which is fake. BJP can fool the fools again and again. Not the clever. So request you all blind bhakths to come out from the fake and jumla world created by your BJP and tell them to work hard for the real development of the state and country and try to get maximum vote share of the people of India. Or else, what happened in Karnataka, will repeat in all the states including 2019 elections and your BJP will become traceless.

    S. Francis, Udupi. You have proved that you are a hypocrite. When ever supreme court delivers judgement in favor of BJP you say Supreme court and CJI are in BJPs hold, baised. But when Supreme court gives any order against BJP you praise the Supreme court.
    Stop pulling the Supreme court & CJI to your silly politics. Common man have kept a great confidence on Judicial system dont make him loose that.

    Coalition is advantage JDS.

    1. Since JDS is heading the Govt, it will project as if it is its Govt means "Kumaranna's Govt"
    2. Cong has no alternative but to adhear to what JDS says.
    3. For next election JDS will atleast ask for a seat share of 80 seats which means Cong will have 144 and may win 80 at best. This means Cong will never be able to form Govt on its own and has to depend on JDS.
    4. This coalition may push Cong to third position in long term due to JDS slowly taking its position.

    Our constitution and SC is missing one important point about running minority government!

    Once single largest party forms government then there should be mandatory trust vote, secret voting rights for MLA or MPs and counting of votes.

    Should not have any horse trading or resort politics... MLA's should be allowed to just like other citizens...

    I criticize SC for not doing all these arrangements even after 70years...

    ..BJP will do everything to stop this Govt but personally i feel they shouldnt do it..state BJP leaders should have sensed Congress plan but failed..

    BJP lawyers totally failed in SC ..BJP should have argued about locked up MLAs basic human rights of expressing their views/ executing their choice openly without fear..

    when anti defection laws already there, parties can disqualify their MLAS but they cant force their MLAs to vote against their will.. but everything revolved around the floor test date only and its seems everything even in SC someone knew whole script in advance..

    Sir, with due respect to you Does the word LAZINESS included in Constitution to form the Government. Laziness was a propaganda. It was the Very first Responsibility of GOVERNORS of Goa & Manipur to invite whoever got Majority seats as per the Constitution. But Instead of inviting Congress to form the Government both Governors Danced according to tunes of Modi & Shah. Now it is BACKFIRED them in Karnataka.
