It was no surprise that HD Kumaraswamy won the floor test in Karnataka. With their man in the hot seat, toppling this government is going to be much harder for the BJP. Whatever the theatrics of the game of thrones in Karnataka, no one will deny one thing.

He then became CM for 20 months from 3 February 2006 to 9 October 2007 with the support of the BJP.
