Bangalore: The obligatory fireworks and sweets were produced at the BJP office in Bangalore after the government won its trust vote, but the celebrations seemed both forced and premature.
Within hours came the news that the Karnataka Governor, HR Bhardwaj, had, in a report to the Centre, described the vote as "a farce" and recommended President's rule. Then Law Minister Veerappa Moily weighed in, stating on NDTV that the BJP government in Karnataka was in a minority and that "fear psychosis had been created in the Assembly."

However, sources tell NDTV that the Centre is unlikely to push for President's Rule. What it would prefer is another floor test.
That's unlikely to sit well with the BJP, which has already accused the Governor of being partisan.
