Bangalore: Either BJP has a penchant for getting into unexpected troubles, or it is no longer a party with a difference. There are 24 dissatisfied MLAs in Lower House who have moved to Chennai in a group to create trouble and tension in their party. 20 of them have withdrawn their support to the BJP government in a letter sent to the governor, this morning. The former CM and JD(S) MP, HD Kumaraswamy has gone to Raj Bhavan with BJP MLAs Shankara Linge Gowda and Shivanagowda Naik to see the Governor. Seven cabinet Ministers are likely to resign and by evening 35 MLAs may resign, according to Vartur Praksh, a dissident. The letter signed by 20 MLAs was taken to the Governor by another dissident (independent Minister) Narendra Swamy.
Vartur Prakash took 2 MLAs Raj Bhavan this afternoon BJP state chief KS Eashwarappa bears the brunt of attacks by dissident MLAs in BJP. There are several demands made by these dissatisfied MLAs, such as seeking Ministerships for G. Shekhar and Belur Goplakrishna.
