Bengaluru: State BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa on Friday said he is going to meet Governor Vajubhai Vala to stake claim to form the government today.
Addressing presspersons here, Yeddyurappa said he would also request the Governor to hold the oath-taking ceremony today itself.
He further added, “I am going to meet the Governor today to stake claim to form the government and I will request him to hold oath-taking ceremony today itself.”
On Tuesday, the confidence motion moved by caretaker chief minister HD Kumaraswamy got 99 votes as against 105 of the opposition.
This brought an end to the 12-day high-voltage political drama which had begun in the state with the resignation of over a dozen rebel MLAs to Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar.
Earlier, Yeddyurappa had said, “I am waiting for instructions from Delhi. At any point of time we will call for Legislature Party and then head to the Raj Bhavan.”
The HD Kumaraswamy government in the state fell on Tuesday evening after it lost the confidence vote, garnering 99 votes against the 105 by the BJP in the assembly, ending the nearly three-week-long high political drama.
The coalition had needed 103 votes in its favour to win the motion as 20 MLAs Congress-JDS (17), BSP (1), Independents (2) skipped proceedings, reducing the effective strength of the House to 205.
