Congress may Approach Supreme Court

Bangalore, May 16: The Fresh development has emerged in the Karnataka CM Post, As The Congress may move Supreme Court if the Karnataka governor does not invite HD Kumaraswamy of the Janata Dal (Secular) to form the new government in the state with the help of the grand old party, sources here said on Wednesday.

"In case, the governor doesn't call us, we believe that it is a strong case to go to the Supreme Court," one of the party's senior official said.

Deve Gowda's party, the JD(S), finished third but has the "unconditional support" of the Congress, says it should be invited first on the ground that the post-poll combine has won in 117 constituencies, which is well above the magic mark of 112 needed to form the government.

Sources in the Congress added that its top legal officilas such as Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Kapil Sibal and Vivek Tankha may be roped in to challenge any “adverse” decision of governor Vajubhai Vala.
