In a big blow to the ruling Congress and JD(S) in Karnataka, two independent MLAs have written to the Governor announcing their decision to withdraw support from the coalition government. The Congress leaders have been blaming the BJP of indulging in Operation Lotus. Three Congress MLAs were spotted in a hotel in Mumbai. MP KC Venugopal of the Congress rushed to Karnataka. Venugopal and Parameshwara, the deputy chief minister of Karnataka, said that despite all this, the Kumaraswamy-led government will not destabilise.
