BENGALURU: The Karnataka crisis continued on Wednesday with Congress leader DK Shivakumar detained by cops for refusing to budge from outside Mumbai's Renaissance Hotel, where rebel MLAs are camping. Congress leaders Milind Deora and Naseem Khan were also detained by cops.
The day also saw 10 rebel MLAs moving Supreme Court alleging that the assembly speaker has failed in his constitutional duty. They said resignation, not disqualification, should be considered first by the speaker. On the other hand, in Bengaluru , a delegation led by BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa met governor. He said Kumaraswamy has no moral right to continue as chief minister. “BJP has the numbers. The speaker is unnecessarily delaying the process,” the former CM said.

- Supreme Court may ask assembly speaker to decide on resignations of lawmakers either by setting a deadline or directing floor test with riders.
- Karnataka assembly speaker KR Ramesh Kumar may disqualify some legislators on the ground that they have indulged in anti-party activities.
- Chief minister HD Kumaraswamy may seek vote of confidence to force rebel lawmakers to fall in line or resign owning up moral responsibility
- Speaker may take more time, asking all rebel legislators to appear before him to explain their resignations, providing breather for partners.
- Legislators will wait till the governor asks for a floor test and ensure the government falls by crossvoting so that the speaker is replaced.
