Bangalore : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will meet Karnataka Governor Rameshwar Thakur Sunday noon to inform him of the withdrawal of support to the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S).
Ahead of the meeting with the governor, BJP legislators will meet at 11 a.m. to formally endorse the decision taken by the party withdrawing support to Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, said BJP spokesperson S. Suresh Kumar.
Kumar told IANS that the BJP had planned a show of strength Sunday. About 10,000 BJP supporters would assemble at the Gandhi statue, about a kilometre away from Raj Bhavan, and hold a march before the party leaders meet the governor.
He said party leader and Deputy Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa as well as state unit president Sadanand Gowda would arrive from New Delhi Saturday evening.
The BJP Saturday ended its alliance with the JD-S and called for fresh elections, terming the latter’s refusal to keep its promise and hand over power as “the worst betrayal” in Indian politics.
