The political situation in Karnataka is expected to be action-packed on Friday, with the state Congress deciding to lead a delegation to the prime minister at New Delhi, urging him to act on the report recommending President's rule in Karnataka.
While the Congress would lead a delegation to New Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party will launch a statewide agitation against the Governor of Karnataka, H R Bharadwaj.
On Wednesday, the state Congress had blocked all highways in the state for an hour, demanding that action be taken on the Governor's report. The Governor had cited a constitutional breakdown in the state and sent a report to the Centre, recommending imposition of President's rule.
While the centre appears to be dragging its feet on the report, the BJP met with the Governor, paraded their members of legislative assembly, and also urged him to convene a legislative session on June 2.
The governor had however stated that he would await a decision on his report before convening a session. The BJP, had however set a deadline for the Governor to act and when he failed to convey any message, the BJP decided to agitate all through the state starting Friday.
The Congress meanwhile has demanded that the report of the Governor be implemented. All their MLAs would be in New Delhi on Friday, and meet with the prime minister and urge him to implement the report of the Governor.
