Bangalore,May 14 (PTI) Congress and JDS in Karnataka today upped the ante demanding dismissal of the B S Yeddyurappa government on the ground that it has lost majority following the Supreme Court setting aside the disqualification of 11 BJP rebel MLAs and five independents.
"The state has plunged into a constitutional crisis in the wake of the Supreme Court quashing Speaker K G Bopaiah's order on disqualification of 16 MLAs," Karnataka PCC President G Parameshwara and Congress opposition leader in the assembly Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
They urged the Governor H R Bhardwaj to recommend to the Centre to invoke Article 356 of the Constitution and dismiss the BJP government.
