The State Is Suffering: Twitterati on #KarnatakaPoliticalCrisis

One Twitter user said “the horse-trading will be celebrated as victory of Amit Shah’s Chanakyaniti.”

There is political turmoil brewing in Karnataka as the 13-month-old coalition government is facing a crisis.

All MLAs of the ruling Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) coalition submitted their resignations and the Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded that HD Kumaraswamy resign as chief minister.

Twitter wasted no time in latching onto the dramatic turn of events.

While some called it hilarious...

Things are just getting hilarious. #KarnatakaPoliticalCrisis https://t.co/9pgOyMh79B

Others called it never ending.

This is like Ekta Kapoor's "SaaS Bahu Series" of which is:
1. Never ending
2. Even if you don't watch for months, u will not miss anything#KarnatakaPoliticalCrisis

Twitter users said the people of Karnataka are suffering amidst the crisis.

Amit Shah is attempting masterstroke in Karnataka, yet again.

Karnataka MLAs are partying in swanky resorts, yet again.

People of Karnataka are suffering, yet again.#KarnatakaPoliticalCrisis

State is suffering, governance back to zero. State hit by drought and our so called law makers are playing buy-sell game. Need a change, Mr Modi and Shah are now just election winning machine. Governance is simply zero.#KarnatakaPoliticalCrisis

Another Twitter user said “the horse-trading will be celebrated as victory of Amit Shah’s chanakyaniti.”

He also added that moral decay in Hindutva politics isn’t new.

This horse-trading will be celebrated as victory of Amit Shah's chanakyaniti. Moral decay in Hindutva politics isn't new, they even justify it with a sickening phrase - "Saam Daam Dand Bhed". Euphemism for chickenshit politics. https://t.co/SU8J077liM

The anger among some users was palpable though. “Nobody is interested in working for the state,” said one Twitter user.

Some Twitter users suggested that Karnataka must “decide again”.

If Congress and JDS can't prove their majority on the floor of the house then the assembly should be dissolved as soon as possible even if BJP gets majority.
Let the karnataka to decide again.
BJP can get majority in re elections.#KarnatakaPoliticalCrisis

The coalition, it appears, may collapse soon. What will be the next step for Karnataka?
