K'taka CM gets a breather after meeting Rajnath

January 28, 2013 09:42

Newly-appointed BJP President Rajnath Singh met Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar early on Monday morning. Rajnath Singh is confident that there is no threat to the BJP government in the state.

Rajnath's assurance comes after an hour-long meeting with the Karnataka CM Jagadish Shetttar in the capital. While Rajnath termed the visit as a courtesy call, he sounded optimistic that the BJP will complete its tenure.

"There is no threat to our Karnataka government. Our state government in Karnataka will complete its tenure. This was a courtesy call," Rajnath Singh said.

"There is no crisis in Karnataka, nothing to worry. No MLA has technically resigned till now, so we have to wait," Shettar said.

Shettar's meeting was precipitated after the 13 MLAs, who resigned last week, said that they will meet the Speaker with their resignation letters on Monday. If the Speaker accepts their letters, the BJP strength comes down to 105, which is just two seats more than what the Opposition has.
