In a highly-anticipated hearing, the Supreme Court is set to hear a petition filed by the Congress against Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala, who invited the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the government on 16 May, on Friday.

The apex court had ordered that the letter submitted by Yeddyurappa and senior BJP leaders to the governor in which it was declared that the party has the requisite number of MLAs to form the government be produced before the court.
After the Supreme Court refused to stay the governor's decision, BS Yeddyurappa was sworn-in as the chief minister of Karnataka on Thursday. However, the top court has kept it subject to the case’s outcome. Now, all eyes are on the BJP as it attempts to retain power in the southern state.
The Karnataka election had thrown up a hung Assembly. The BJP had emerged as the single-largest party winning 104 seats in the 12 May Assembly election. However, it fell short of eight seats from the 112-halfway mark in the Lower House, in which the Congress trailed behind with 78 wins and the regional JD(S) 37 seats.
Here is a full list of the winners from the BJP and their Assembly constituencies.
