Efforts were intensified to reach out to dissident Karnataka legislators a day after CM Kumaraswamy made a surprise announcement that he will seek a trust vote.
The Congress-JD (S) coalition government faces the threat of losing majority in the Karnataka assembly if resignations of its MLAs are accepted by the Speaker.
Aggressive dissidence is likely to be a permanent feature of Karnataka’s electoral politics. So, when the Kumaraswamy government may fall is not important.
The move comes amid reports that ministers in the coalition government will be asked to step down to make way for disgruntled MLAs who resigned as legislators.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
