His excellency, Mr. Hans Raj Bharadwaj has threatened the center that he would resign to his post, if his recently dispatched report on the claimed "political instability" in Karnataka government is not considered. It is quite obvious that the center will dispose the report, it already has - by Chidambaram, Sibal and the likes(it is only Moily that is insisting). The Supreme court in its verdict in SR Bommai vs Union of India has put a check on misuse of Article 356 by governors. If BJP goes to court (if and after imposition of 356), the verdict will be nothing but a revival of its previous stance. Even otherwise, if elections are to happen again, people are right now in favor of BJP.
Art.356 cannot be imposed based on political instability - as BJP has majority at the moment; if the report was intended to be sent, the governor had to send it immediately after SC verdict and not on the day the party(BJP) came to ask for a session to prove majority on the floor!)nor are there any administrative malfunctions. It is quite clear that the governor has based his report on corruption charges and personal whims alone! And the GOI very well knows who is facing better corruption charges!
Recent developments evidently show petty politics played by HRB(as if those played by Siddaramaiah and father-son duo of JDS was not enough!). He dismissed meeting BJP supporting MLAs in Raj Bhavan on Sunday citing the reason that it was not a working day. While, he sent the report on the same non-working day! He also was generous enough to meet Congress 'delegates' on the same day! HBR is nothing but a Congress agent instilled in Karnataka to put a check on the state's as well as BJP's progress.
Congress's age-old strategy - start barking more on opposition's unnoticeable errors, uphold the errors, glorify it all the more to bring it on par with its own errors! As they say, Never argue with an idiot - first they bring you down to their level and then beat you with their experience!
So, what is the procedure to change the governor please? or may be His Excellency prefers to keep his promise if report is not considered?
