The BRS leadership is already facing multiple challenges. The party lost power in 2023 and also suffered defeats in recent MLC and Assembly byelections. Internal differences reportedly resurfaced after Kavitha distanced herself from party affairs. With the Governor’s approval, speculation has risen about a possible arrest of KTR, adding pressure on party chief K. Chandrashekar Rao at a crucial political moment.

Meanwhile, the BJP has repeatedly accused the Congress government of delaying legal action against KTR. The party claims irregularities in the Formula E race project were ignored. The Congress government earlier stated that the probe slowed because the Governor had not granted permission. With that hurdle now cleared, political circles are keenly observing the next steps.

The BRS has dismissed the allegations, calling the case politically motivated. KTR has openly challenged the government to arrest him if evidence exists. With momentum from the Jubilee Hills byelection victory, the ruling Congress may attempt to counter both BRS and BJP using this development. The political outcomes of the Formula E case will become clearer in the coming days.

The discussions focused on pending BC (Backward Classes) reservation bills , which are still awaiting approval from the Governor and the President. Some ministers suggested issuing a special government order (GO) to proceed with the elections, while others recommended waiting until the legislation is formally enacted before conducting polls.

Several ministers also emphasized the importance of implementing reservation policies in line with the party’s stance to ensure fair representation. The CM’s upcoming decision is expected to provide clarity on whether elections will move forward immediately or await legislative approval, marking a significant step for local governance and political planning in the state.

One of the major points of uncertainty is the 42% reservation for Backward Classes (BCs), which still awaits approval from the Governor. The government faces pressure to clarify its position on the matter before proceeding with the polls.

According to sources, the cabinet may consider issuing a special Government Order (GO) to move forward with the elections in case clarity is not achieved on the reservation issue. The decisions made during this meeting are expected to shape both electoral planning and the state’s approach to crucial development projects like the Tummidihatti barrage.

Senior advocate Gopal Subramanian, representing Karnataka, said Article 361 grants immunity to the President and governors from criminal proceedings. He explained that Section 197 of the CrPC applies to public servants, not ceremonial officeholders who follow ministerial advice.

Subramanian highlighted Supreme Court verdicts showing that a governor’s approval of bills reflects the satisfaction of the council of ministers. He said the Constitution does not allow parallel administration in a state alongside elected governments.

The court, led by Chief Justice BR Gavai, is examining a Presidential reference. It includes 14 questions, such as whether constitutional authorities can indefinitely withhold assent to bills and whether courts can impose strict timelines. Earlier, the West Bengal government told the court that governors and the President cannot override the people’s will expressed through legislation.

The Karnataka government stressed that the President and governors only serve as titular heads, and executive authority flows through elected ministers, not ceremonial officeholders.
