Political events in Karnataka is taking a different turn of events and made the single largest party in state election BJP, to form a government despite being short of majority by 8 seats. Midnight twist and midnight tryst saw turn of events and that made Congress to plead in the CJI court. BJP is confident of garnering a majority, has won the first round and looking for consolidation. Fifteen days time is given for BJP to shop for MLAs and show a majority on the floor of the house. This may look one way against the ethics of democracy but as per the Bomai incident committed, it is within the ground rules of the system prevailing in India. It is a matter of great relief for BJP but Congress failing to retain power in Karnataka is now desperate. It is indeed a total chaos in Karnataka.
