the elections in karnataka held in 2004 led to extremely unusual results. for one, no party had enough seats to form a government on its own. out of a total of 224 seats, the bjp won 79, the congres 65 and the jd (secular) 58. the only possibility was a coalition government and the two largest parties were politically not inclined to form a coalition. jd(s) president and former prime minister deve gowda decided to partner with the congress to form a government just to keep the bjp out of the government. the coalition headed by chief minister n dharam singh (congress) and deputy chief minister siddharamiah (of jds) lasted till 2006 following the expulsion of state jds president and deputy chief minister siddaramaiah from the party by deve gowda . deve gowda's son hd kumaraswamy, also of the jds, brought in a new twist when he garnered support of 46 other mlas and withdrew support from the congress. kumaraswamy struck a deal with the opposition party, the right wing bjp, to form an alternate government. the new coalition had hd kumaraswamy as the chief minister and b. s. yeddyurappa of the bjp as deputy chief minister. before forming the government, the two parties had entered into an informal power sharing agreement. they would enjoy chief ministership for a period of 20 months each (which would cover the time left for the next elections). the coalition and the state also witnessed one of the most bitter by election in its history in 2006 december when defected siddaramaiah contested chamundeshwari by election on congress ticket and ended up winning it by a margin of 257 votes despite a very powerful campaign against him by both bjp and jds.this has created a unique situation where a government has been headed by three different political parties with no elections between them.
