Karnataka assembly speaker K R Ramesh Kumar on Thursday disqualified three of the 17 rebel Congress-JD(S) MLAs under the anti-defection law while keeping the remaining 14 cases pending. The three — all believed to be ministerial aspirants in the event of BJP forming the next government — cease to be MLAs with immediate effect and are barred from contesting elections till 2023.
The unexpected announcement late on Thursday evening added to the ongoing political uncertainty in Karnataka, with B S Yeddyurappa-led BJP yet to meet the governor to stake claim to form the government. The all-important goahead from the BJP central leadership hadn’t come till late in the night.
