The DMK, a key southern ally of the Congress, today termed Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala's invite to the BJP to form government in the state "hasty" and "unconstitutional", and alleged that it would lead to horse-trading.

"The Karnataka Governor's hasty invitation to the BJP to form Government despite the majority of MLAs forming a post-poll alliance of INC-JD(S)-BSP is arbitrary & unconstitutional. Such a move will only serve to enable horse-trading and destroy our democratic foundations," DMK Working President M K Stalin tweeted.

In another tweet, he said, "People of Tamil Nadu are familiar with the BJP's efforts to protect the corrupt ADMK Government, which also incidentally does not enjoy the majority support in the Legislative Assembly. Constitutional institutions and principles are under threat from these actions."
