Karnataka[edit | edit source]
2019[edit | edit source]
Ramesh Jarkiholi organized 14 other Congress MLAs to resign their Posts.[6] Ramesh Jarkiholi was one of the 15 MLAs from Congress and 2 from JD(S) who resigned in July 2019, bringing down the HDK Congress-JD(S) coalition and allowing BSY to return to Power.[7] After Supreme Court ruling held up their disqualification but allowed them to run, Jarkiholi joined BJP along with all other rebels inducted by Sri B.S.

Hardeep Singh Dang resigned from the assembly membership and consequently from Indian National Congress, citing in a letter, 'ignorance from his party' and then joined BJP on March 21, 2020 along with 17 Scindia Supporters and 4 others.[13][14][15]
Investigations[edit | edit source]
On 31 March 2021, the bench of Justice DCunha refused to quash the FIR against the sitting Chief Minister of Karnataka B. S. Yediyurappa in a case nicknamed Operation Kamala case.[16] At the time of the alleged incident, Yediyurappa was the leader of opposition.[17]
Reactions[edit | edit source]
- In an interview with Deccan Herald in March 2019, B. S. Yediyurappa said "Operation Kamala was not wrong and I don't regret it. It is part of democracy."[18][19]
- Lehar Singh Siroya claimed that the BJP cadre in the State was “by and large against the Operation Kamala” as that would not help the party in the long term.[20]
- H. D. Kumaraswamy alleged that the BJP used Operation Kamala to affect the defections of MLAs from his government, causing it to fall.
