Bangalore, May 14 (UNI) The Opposition Congress party in Karnataka today submitted a 15 point chargesheet to Governor T N Chaturvedi against JD(S)-BJP coalition government in the State and sought its dismissal under Article 356 of the Constitution.

He said, the State was targeting the bureaucrats for its misrule and brought to the notice of the Governor a recent incident in which Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy instigated agitating employees of the Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) to take law in their hands.
Opposition leader in Legislative Assembly N Dharam Singh said, the Congress also appealed to the Governor to take note of the State government's failure in implementing various Central Government schemes, including Employment Guarantee Scheme and Drought relief works.
The State had failed to utilise the central funds released for various welfare schemes for the poor, he said.
