	== Controversy ==		== Controversy ==
	Vala was involved in a controversy during the [[2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election]]s. He invited the largest party, [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] to form the government and not the largest post poll alliance consisting of the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Janata Dal (Secular)]]. He also gave the new Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa 18 days time to prove his majority in the house. His decision was vehemently opposed by all non-BJP alliance parties in the nation, and the INC approached the Supreme Court in this matter. Supreme court decreed that in case when no coalition/party has clear majority, the governor of the state has the legal power to decide who forms the government in that state. But, the same court shortened the 18 day time limit given by Vala to Yeddyurappa to prove majority, into just 3 days, and also mandated that the house proceeding including vote should be telecast live. Yeddyurappa resigned after the house convened, citing that he could not muster the majority. Kumarasamy of Janata Dal was invited to become the new Chief Minister. However,14 months later, Kumarsawamy's government collapsed. Later Yeddyurappa easily managed to sail through with 106 BJP MLAs.<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/asia/india-karnataka-elections-drama-intl/index.html\|title=India's BJP forms new government in Karnataka -- for now\|first=Huizhong \|last=Wu\|work=CNN\|access-date=2018-05-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/karnataka-governor-vajubhai-vala-not-alone-in-giving-15-days-to-prove-majority/articleshow/64214710.cms\|title=Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala not alone in giving 15 days to prove majority\|last=Chaturvedi\|first=Rakesh Mohan\|date=2018-05-18\|work=The Economic Times\|access-date=2018-05-18}}</ref>		Vala was involved in a controversy during the [[2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election]]s.
