Bangalore, Oct 29: Though it is more than 24 hours after the BJP staked its claim to form the government and the JDS pledged its full support, Governor Rameshwar Takur has not given any indication of allowing the BJP and the JD(S) to have their way.

Instead he is working on strengthening his own administrative support system. Is he really going to allow the BJP to form the government or is he going to maintain the status quo or is he helping the Congress to dissolve the State Assembly? Here are five developments which deepen the Governor’s plot.

1) Even after the BJP and the JD(S) staked the claim to form the government, the Centre appointed three advisers to the governor and one of them assumed the duty in a lightning hurry. Why?

2) Deve Gowda had written the letter to governor requesting him to recommend the dissolution of the assembly on October 24. But the Governor acknowledged it on October 27 and it was dispatched to Gowda in a hurry on Saturday night at 10.30 pm. That is after the BJP’s claim to form the government.

3) The Governor appointed the state advocate general in a hurry on Sunday. That is again after the claim of the BJP to form the government. If governor’s idea is to allow the BJP to form the government why did he appoint the advocategeneral just for a day or two?

4) The Governor on Sunday directed all the district magistrates to conduct ‘‘Janata Darshan’’ in all districts and taluq headquarters. If there is going to be a new government in a few days why did the governor take this step in a hurry?

5) The Governor had summoned a meeting of all the district magistrates and the district police superintendents to be held on Monday. However, even after the claim of the BJP to form the Government, the governor did not cancel it. What does this signal?
