Karnataka Bhawan is jam-packed

The Karnataka Bhawan is packed with VIPs these days and the common Kannadigas are finding it difficult to get an accommodation in their state guest house. The BJP MLAs are camped there, besides a large Congress delegation that has come to hold parleys with the top leadership in New Delhi. HR Bharadwaj, the governor, also made a trip to the national capital while the political crisis in Karnataka was at its peak. Many thought Bharadwaj had come because of the current crisis, but the former law minister made it clear that his trip was planned almost two months ago when the BJP government was running smoothly. “I had come for a family wedding and to meet my chartered accountant for some accounts,” Bharadwaj told reporters.
