I guess the BJP called his bluff? The governor asking him to resign did not help either....but the BJP needs to be careful. They should not expect this to continue for long....certainly not 20 months. I am 100% confident that Mr. Deve Gowda is just buying time and will soon return to his "BJP is Communal" slogan. In fact, if the BJP had been able to "bug" Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy 20 months ago, they would have heard DG say " Go ahead and do it...we can always pull the rug after 20 months....we will put on a show of differing with each other now"
