About 12 rebel MLAs in Karnataka are still staying in the camp being run by the BJP. They are being shifted from Mumbai to Goa amid protection provided by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha leaders. Analysts are saying that the BJP has successfully paralysed the JDS-Congress government. It almost gained upper hand by retaining its hold on the ruling combine’s rebel MLAs. The appeals made by Congress senior leaders like Siddharamaiah could not win them back.

With this, the Kumaraswamy government has lost majority in the Assembly. Speaker Ramesh Kumar is not taking a final decision on the resignations of rebel MLAs saying that they have not given their resignations to him personally. Meanwhile, BJP is demanding resignation of CM Kumaraswamy as he lost majority. But the JDS-Congress leaders are taking enough time to see how the Speaker reacts on the issue of rebel MLAs resignations.

Siddharamaiah has demanded that the Speaker accept the resignations of rebels so that it would stop the political manouvres of the BJP in the state. While the Congress-JDS combine is fast losing its direction, the BJP leaders are playing the game very cautiously. The camp politics are expected to run till the BJP gets a clear chance to form the next government.
