NEW DELHI: Ending the power-tussle in Karnataka following the JD(S)' refusal to handover chief ministership to it, the BJP on Sunday formally withdrew support to the 20-month-old H D Kumaraswamy government in the state.
The JD(S) led Karnataka government has been reduced to minority.
The decision to pull out of the regime was taken by the BJP Parliamentary Board which met a day after JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda made it clear that power transfer will not take place in the state.
Since the meeting between BJP president Rajnath Singh and Gowda did not "lead to any positive results, the Parliamentary Board has decided to withdraw support from the Karnataka government," senior leader and party in-charge of Karnataka, Yashwant Sinha told reporters in New Delhi.
"The issue is not just about transfer of power, it is betrayal," he said.
