Congress ministers will resign to save govt says Karnataka MP, D K Suresh

Bengaluru, July 08: The Congress has once again sought to blame the BJP for the crisis in the Karnataka coalition.

Congress MP, D K Suresh accused the BJP and said that its leaders were behind the crisis. You can see for yourself what the BJP leaders are doing in the Mumbai hotel. In whose flight were the MLAs carted away to Mumbai, he asked.

We are only trying to save our government. I heard from media reports that independent MLA, Nagesh has offered to resign as a minister. I am not sure and he has not told us this. We will speak with him, Suresh also said while adding that the Congress ministers will resign to pacify or accommodate the rebel MLAs.
