BS Yeddyurappa skips floor test: Who said what

Opposition parties slam BJP over Karnataka debacle
Key Highlights
The political slugfest for government formation in Karnataka culminated today with BJP’s three-day old chief minister BS Yeddyurappa tendering his resignation without facing the trust vote in the Vidhana Soudha, the state legislative assembly.

Here is a look at reactions of various political parties and leaders:
BJP and RSS can disrespect any institution: Rahul Gandhi, Congress president
Did you notice that after the entire exercise in Karnataka Vidhan Sabha, the BJP legislators and speaker chose to leave the house before the national anthem? It shows they can disrespect any institution if in power, both BJP and RSS have disrespected institutions.
You've seen openly how the PM directly authorized purchasing of MLAs in Karnataka, so the idea that PM spreads in the country that he is fighting corruption, is a blatant lie, he is corruption.
