Karnataka politics not designed for coalition: Another govt in crisis

The first such coalition in Karnataka was formed in 1983. The Janata Party (JNP) had emerged as the single largest party with 95 seats and got outside support from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which has 18 seats, Left parties, and 16 Independents. Ramakrishna Hegde became the chief minister in this coalition.
