Coalition  

Karnataka: Satish Jarakiholi and Ramesh Jarkiholi are reportedly planning to jump ship from the Congress to the BJP, and take along with them over 23 MLAs.

Before Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy could start his official tour in Delhi, he visited Rahul Gandhi in the morning recently and asked RaGa to tell his State leaders not to trouble the coalition.  

HDK, who took oath as the Karnataka's chief minister on May 24, 2018, leads the coalition government between JD(S) and Congress. He speaks about the coalition partner Congress and its leader Siddaramaiah

Siddaramaiah's letter to CM HD Kumaraswamy to relook into the budget and criticism on increase of taxes on petrol and diesel by Karnataka and possible transfer of officials said to have hurt many JD(S) leaders and created a dent in coalition government

Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy broke into tears during a celebratory ceremony in Bengaluru’s Seshadripuram. During the speech, he said, "I am swallowing my pain like a Vishakantha" referring to the Congress-JD(S) coalition.

He swung the car door open and immediately 'Thanked God' in the sanctum sanctorum.
