Bengaluru, Jan 6: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Monday said he would not get involved in any 'wicked act' of bringing down the B S Yediyurappa-led government in Karnataka, amid claims that 15 to 20 BJP MLAs were ready to come out.
Clarifying that he would not disturb the government, the former Chief Minister said for him, the development of the state was important. "With great difficulty, you (Yediyurappa) have become Chief Minister for the fourth time, (I am) happy, I have nowhere said that I will disturb your government. Even now some people come and ask why I'm sitting silent when 15-20 people are ready to come out of BJP and why don't I make an attempt (to poach them), Kumaraswamy said. Speaking to reporters in Hassan, he sought to know why he should get entangled in that 'sludge' and he was not in a hurry.
"I will not get involved in a wicked act of removing a responsible government like Yediyurappa did. For me the development of the state is important," he said.
Though Kumaraswamy had raised questions about the longevity of the BJP government ahead of the December 5 bypolls, he had even then given clear indications that he would not attempt to pull down the administration as it would affect the development of the state.
The ruling BJP had swept the by-elections by winning 12 of the total 15 seats, helping the Yediyurappa government retain the majority in the Assembly.
With BJP winning 12 of the 15 assembly constituencies, it's numbers went up from 105 (including an independent) to 117, which is well ahead of the halfway mark of 111 in a 223-member Assembly (two seats-- Maski and R R Nagar-- are vacant due to pending litigation in the High Court).
The BJP came to power after the Kumaraswamy-led Congress-JD(S) coalition government collapsed as 17 MLAs had rebelled against the alliance leadership and resigned as legislators, to later favour the saffron party.

Do you know who start the tippu jayanthi dear
This is the fact, a party built on corrupt ideology will not survive. The entire nation will know the truth.
What is their moral value of these guys who killed that person who sacrificed his whole life for the nation. What can we expect from these people. Until the past few years they were agreeing TIPU SULTAN as the best ruler, tiger of Mysore, and the man who taught to resist the invaders.
Just for the personal benefits, the same guys portray him negatively
People of such a mentality should be catalgorized as sick and mentally distorted group who should not be considered fit for election or make any policitical party.
The wise people should boycott such immoral party, Support the fair and the reliable party. If not available go for the least corrupt party.
Eddi is the only CM who spent his life in jail for corruption (not as a freedom fighter)
Think of our future geneations and our children,
God help our country from these corrupt group.
Dear Sandesh

Why all people blaming BJP. Why this govt cant avoid celebration
BJP leaders are mentally retarded people. Trouble makers
All Hindus should support BJP's decision
BJP openly said they will oppose. If they didnt say anything also they will do the same. They will make trouble as they did previous year
Govt should seek order from hc or sc for arresting all BJP goons
