With the results out, Karnataka Governor Valubhai Vala has granted appointments to the two claimants to power – BJP and the JD(S)-Congress combo to decide who finally emerges victorious in the Karnataka Assembly elections. BJP’s CM face BS Yedyurappa is at the Governor’s House for the meeting along with Ananth Kumar. He said he is happy with the verdict and will form the government as the BJP is the single largest party in Karnataka. JD(S)’s HD Kumaraswamy, who has been backed by the Congress to be CM, will meet the Governor at 5.30pm. HD Kumaraswamy had written a letter to the Governor, saying he has accepted the support from Congress, and would like to meet him between 5.30 and 6pm today. The Congress has said that if the Governor does not invite the JDS-Congress combo to form a government, they would move the court. The joint tally of the combo is 118, six clear of the halfway mark.
