On Thursday, senior BJP leaders from Karnataka met Home Minister Amit Shah and party working president JP Nadda in Delhi.
Amit Shah has asked them to meet again at 3 pm to have a further discussion after which the final decision will be taken in the Parliamentary Board meeting.
After a long tug of war between the coalition government and the BJP, which also reached the Supreme court, the Karnataka government fell on Tuesday after a trust vote to prove its majority.
Amid high drama, Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar adjourned the House nearly at midnight to meet again on Tuesday at 10 am after directing Kumaraswamy to hold the floor test by 6 pm.
Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has already missed two deadlines set by Governor Vajubhai Vala on Friday to prove majority of the coalition government.
Meanwhile, CM Kumaraswamy on Sunday said he was 'not trying to cling onto power' while offering to hold talks with the rebels to resolve their issues.
The Speaker's decision was met with angry protest by the BJP lawmakers, while the ruling coalition members seemed relieved.
Following the second deadline, Kumaraswamy said that he has respect for the Governor, but that the second 'love' letter had hurt him.
Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala had on Thursday written to Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy asking him to prove majority of the government on the floor of the House by 1:30 pm today.
