'Gowda's conditions just a ploy to pull down govt' Gowda knew fully well that his November 1 letter to the BJP, laying down 12 conditions, would act as a 'bomb' and would be advantageous for him to deny support to Yeddyurappa at the crucial juncture.
JD(S) on the defensive The JD(S) was in a defensive mood on Monday. Its leaders were searching for reasons for ditching the BJP.
I made a mistake, says BSY B S Yeddyurappa after resigning as CM said he would have continued in power for next 19 months, had he agreed to the JD(S) party's demands.
'Legislators were ready to defy whip' The father-son duo of H D Deve Gowda and H D Kumaraswamy did it again on Monday. They took a sudden unilateral decision not to support B S Yeddyurappa at the trust vote, trust vote and pull down the BJP-led Government.
Record
Shortest tenure The week-long tenure of B S Yeddyurappa as Chief Minister is the shortest witnessed in the history of Karnataka.
A new government has been installed in Karnataka. What should be the priorities of the Yeddyurappa-led government? Transparency, focus on power sector and infrastructure, curbing graft and warding off terror threats to Bangalore... the list of priorities set by Deccan Herald readers for the government is endless. Some of them have also insisted that the Bharatiya Janata Party should prove that it indeed is a party with difference.
