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.
The coalition government on the verge of collapse as already 18 lawmakers have submitted their resignations - 13 Congress, 3 JD(S) and two independent MLAs.
Following the Supreme Court's order on floor test, BJP President BS Yeddyurappa called for Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy's resignation tomorrow.
The court further said that the rebel MLAs cannot be compelled to participate in the trust vote on Thursday.
The Supreme Court will pass the order in the case tomorrow at 10:30 am.
The Speaker had earlier put the resignations on hold and argued that his constitutional duties mandated him to verify whether the resignations tendered by the MLAs were voluntary or forced.
