Karnataka Governor Rameshwar Thakur on Tuesday submitted his "final report" to Home Minister Shivraj Patil on the political situation in the State that has been under President's rule since October 9.
While both the Governor and the Home Minister were tightlipped about the contents of the report, Thakur is understood to have told the Centre that the State Assembly cannot be dissolved, given the majority BJP-JD(S) alliance in the House.
Thakur has also cited the flip-flops and shifting stands by alliance partners to doubt the stability of the Government in case the coalition was invited to take over. Contents of the reports could not be verified independently.
However, with the Centre keeping silent throughout the day, the BJP and JD(S) went ahead with plans to parade their MLAs before President Pratibha Patil and seek her intervention in the matter.
The legislators, who told Patil that they were knocking her doors after failing to get justice from the Prime Minister and the Governor, sought from her a direction to Thakur to invite the coalition to form the next Government. The letters of support by individual MLAs given to the Governor were also furnished to the President.
The BJP MPs from Karnataka had earlier met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and requested him to convene a meeting of the Union Cabinet and recommend revoking of the President's rule, something that could have paved the way for the Government formation.
