BJP-JD(S) set deadline for Governor

Pushing for their second term in Karnataka, the BJP-JD(S) combine on Tuesday urged the Governor to invite them to form a government by Tuesday evening, failing which, they threatened to launch a state-wide agitation and a march to Raj Bhavan from Wednesday.

"If the Governor fails to invite us to form the government by this evening, both parties will launch 'Raj Bhavan chalo' and a state wide agitation," state unit presidents of BJP and JDS, D V Sadanada Gowda and Merajuddin Patel respectively, announced at a press conference here.

Gowda said he wrote another letter to Thakur pointing out that the combine enjoyed a clear majority of 129 legislators in the 224-member state assembly. He also drew the Governor's attention to his recent statements made in Delhi that there was scope for formation of a government if any party approached him.

Gowda alleged that the Congress was trying to block formation of the BJP-JDS government in an obvious reference to that party's demand for dissolution
