NEW DELHI, January 28, 2013
Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, whose government is battling a political crisis after 13 MLAs announced to quit their Assembly membership, on Monday, met BJP chief Rajnath Singh who expressed confidence that the state government will complete its tenure.
The BJP government in Karnataka also launched a counterattack on the 13 party MLAs by deciding to seek their disqualification for 'anti-party' activities.
Sources in Karnataka BJP said a petition would be filed with Assembly Speaker K.G. Bopahiah, seeking their disqualification on the charge 'anti-party' activities.
In Delhi, Mr. Shettar met Mr. Singh and discussed the future course of action in the wake of MLAs loyal to B.S. Yeddyurappa announcing their decision to resign.
Asked about the crisis in the State, Mr. Shettar said, "Till now, no MLA has resigned. So, we have to wait and see what is going on.... Let us see."
The Chief Minister, however, said that his meeting with Mr. Singh was a "courtesy call" after he became the BJP chief and he, as the leader of the State legislative party, had come to take the new leader's wishes for Karnataka.
"There is no crisis in Karnataka government. Our Karnataka government will definitely complete its full term," Mr. Singh told reporters.
