Karnataka: BJP calls for CM's resignation, calls statewide strike

Bengaluru, July 8 (UNI): Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly B.S. Yeddyurappa, who is also BJP state president, today said that his party will hold a statewide agitation on Tuesday demanding the resignation of chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy since the Congress-JDS Coalition Government has plunged into minority.

"Following resignations tendered by disgruntled MLAs of both Congress and JDS the Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has no moral right to continue and he should immediately tender resignation and step down to pave way for the new government since the development activities are hampered due to infighting between the leaders of the two parties," he said.

He said that the BJP Legislators Meeting scheduled later on Monday will take a decision on the prevailing political situation and chalk out suitable steps to be taken in the coming days.

Earlier, former CM and senior BJP leader Jagadish Shettar talking to newsmen said: "When MLAs have given their resignation letters it is the duty of the Speaker to accept it without delay. He cannot take his own time. Whatever may be the outcome, the Chief Minister should immediately step down since his government has lost moral right to continue."

Meanwhile, BJP sources said that the party would look look into avenues available to move court if the Speaker delayed taking the decision on the resignation letters received from 13 MLAs from Congress and the JD(S).

BJP leader R. Ashok said that protests would be held tomorrow in all the Taluk and District headquarters by the party workers demanding resignation of the Chief Minister.
