BJP’s Attempt To Subvert Democracy Failed Miserably: Kejriwal
The BJP’s attempt to “subvert democracy” in Karnataka has “failed miserably”, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said in a Tweet after the collapse of the three-day old B S Yeddyurappa government in the state.
BJP’s attempts to subvert democracy have miserably failed in Karnataka. BJP’s lust for power through foul means stands completely exposed. Will BJP learn any lesson now ?
India’s judiciary has risen to the occasion and has safeguarded our democracy.

Yeddyurappa’s resignation will pave the way for formation of a government led by JD(S) state chief H D Kumaraswamy, who has the backing of the Congress. The newly formed alliance has claimed support of 117 MLAs in the 224-member House with an effective strength of 221.
