With two Congress MLAs in Karnataka Monday sending in their resignations to the Assembly Speaker, the Congress Monday accused the BJP of trying to destabilise the coalition government by blackmailing and threatening its MLAs.
Congress state president Dinesh Gundu Rao asserted that the coalition government was stable and has majority.
He warned of action against those trying to destabilise the government.
"A few people must have succumbed to such pressure but it will not affect the government.We have majority. If situation warrants, we too are capable to take action of various types. We have not tried it yet," Rao told reporters.
Hours after Vijayanagara Congress MLA Anand Singh submitted his resignation to Speaker Ramesh Kumar, his party colleague and rebel legislator Ramesh Jarkiholi too sent in his resignation.
On Anand Singh submitting his resignation, Rao said "We dont know for what he had resigned must be some pressure. BJP has been trying to destabilise the government. Their agenda has been that there should not be a stable government."
