Turmoil over government formation in Karnataka finally ended as newly sworn-in Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy won floor test after the JD(S)-Congress coalition voted in his favour. During Karnataka Assembly session, Yeddyruappa slammed Congress-JD(S). Tearing into H D Deve Gowda, B S Yeddyurappa on Friday called him a chameleon and said Congress leader Shivkumar would regret alliance with JD(S). The BJP leader added, "my fight is not against Shivkumar. I'm against Deve Gowda and JD(S)". BJP leaders walked out of Karnataka Assembly right after Yeddyurappa finished his speech.

However, there seem to be no end to the troubles in store
