Karnataka political crisis is not showing any signs of relenting. Despite hefty parleys by the leaders of Congress and Janata (Secular) coalition, the rebel MLAs remain adamant on resignation. The 14 MLAs who are camped at a hotel in Mumbai have once again sought police help to block any political leader from meeting them as they suspect serious threat.

Meanwhile, opposition BJP has demanded a trust vote to be held on Monday.

The assembly is likely to see a rocky session. Stay tuned to IndiaToday.in for the Live updates.
