If that happens, then Zilla Panchayat Chief V M Vijaya and Deputy Chief Anitha Kanjithanda will continue their positions. It all depends on whether Ganesh remains absent for the meet scheduled to be held at 11 am on Saturday or supports the duo. On the other hand, sources say that there is a possibility that all the members of the BJP may remain absent to embarass the Congress.
However, Independent Member H S Ashok who came out of the BJP group continues to identify with the Congress group.
In the 29-member Kodagu Zilla Panchayat, if Ganesh supports the present chief and deputy chief, the BJP will get a simple majority with 15 members and the number of Congress supporters will become 14, thereby embarrassing the Congress as it was the Congress who moved a no-confidence motion.
