Two Karnataka BJP legislators, Sarvabhouma Bagli and Belur Gopalakrishna have submitted a petition to the secretary of the state assembly, P. Om Prakash, seeking for the disqualification of the total thirteen legislators who are to resign. The BJP run Karnataka state government had plunged into a political crisis ever since 13 legislators resigned while owing their loyalty allegiance to former state chief B. S. Yeddyurappa. Bagli, while talking to mediapersons, said that their petition was directed to the state assembly speaker K. G. Bopaiah through the secretary, for the disqualification of the legislators. Hem Raj, the counsel for the two BJP legislators, also added here that the speaker would be compelled to decide on their petition first as they are submitting it before the resignation of the legislators. less
