DMK on Saturday said democracy in Karnataka has been saved by the actions of the Supreme Court and greeted the leadership of the JD(S) and Congress after BJP strongman B S Yeddyurappa resigned as chief minister minutes before the scheduled trust vote.

“...May this herald the coming together of secular parties for the upcoming elections,” DMK working president M K Stalin said in a tweet.

“Democracy in Karnataka has been saved by the actions of the Supreme Court. I extend my congratulations to @hd_kumaraswamy and @INCIndia...” he said.
