The Congress in Karnataka has termed the Supreme Court order on the political crisis in the state as bad judgment, which seemed to protect the defectors and encourage horse-trading.

In a series of tweets, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Dinesh Gundu Rao termed it an extraordinary order.

The Supreme Court in its judgment today,  directed that the 15 rebel Congress and JD(S) MLAs “ought not” to be compelled to take part in the proceedings of the state Assembly, where Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is slated to face the floor test tomorrow .

Supreme Court order seems perfectly coordinated to help the rebel MLAs to violate the whip and it has set a wrong precedent as the value of the Whip as per 10th schedule of the Constitution is now redundant,  Dinesh Gundu Rao tweeted.

AIR correspondent reports, welcoming the Supreme Court direction on Karnataka political crisis, rebel Congress-JDS MLAs camping in Mumbai, said that there was no question of going back on their resignations from the Assembly or attending the session.

In a video released to the media  today, rebel Congress MLA B.C.Patil, said that they are happy with the decision of the Supreme Court.

Flanked by 11 other Congress-JD(S) MLAs who have quit, he said that they are all together and whatever decision they have taken,  at any cost no question of going back on their resignation or attending the Assembly.

Meanwhile, hectic political activities are going on in the ruling coalition government to garner the support of the rebel MLAs to save the JDS-Congress government.
