Senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chauhan on Friday blamed the Congress for the political crisis in Karnataka and claimed that the H D Kumaraswami government there has lost its majority.

"The Congress is responsible for the crisis in Karnataka. Sitting on a constitutional post, the speaker of the Karnataka House is acting unconstitutionally," Chauhan told a press conference.

The state government has lost majority and therev should be immediate decision (floor test), the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister said.

He alleged that the ruling coalition in Karnataka was not based on principles and ideology but on selfishness.

"(Congress leader) Siddaramaiah does not like Kumaraswamy," he said, claiming Kumaraswami has literally been in tears to run the government.

He said the Congress had brought down the governments of former prime ministers Choudhary Charan Singh, Chandra Shekhar, I K Gujral and H D Deve Gowda in the past and had never "adhered to coalition dharma".
