Accusing the Congress government in Karnataka of failure to comply with the law and order norms as well as upholding of constitutional values, the opposition BJP petitioned Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot to recommend to the Centre dismissal of the government.
A delegation of BJP legislators, led by Leader of Opposition R. Ashok, took the political fight against the Congress government, with respect to the alleged raising of ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogans in Vidhana Soudha, beyond the legislature by lobbing the ball in the court of the Governor. BJP legislators marched to the Raj Bhavan to petition the Governor after boycotting the legislature session to protest against delay in arresting those who allegedly raised ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogans while celebrating the victory of Congress leader Nassir Hussain in the Rajya Sabha elections.
