Congress-JD(S) combine leader HD Kumaraswamy has been invited by the Governor to form a Government. Addressing the media after meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala on Saturday evening, Kumaraswamy said he will take oath on May 23.
“I have just met the Governor. He has invited the JD(S), Congress coalition to form a Government as the BJP did not prove the majority. Along with the invitation, he has also asked us to prove our majority. On Monday morning, we will be holding a grand oath-taking ceremony at Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru,” Kumaraswamy said. He also said “Congress leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad and Ashok Gehlot will play a role in making this alliance a success. We will meet after 8.30 tonight at the Ashoka Hotel to finalise the modalities of the alliance."
Kumaraswamy said the BJP has not given up on the operation Kamala completely. He said that both the parties will sit together to decide how best to tackle these problems.
