"The real action will start now, whatever promises I have made to the citizens of Karnataka, I am going to fulfill them. I am not going to care about this threat (BJP to call state-wide bandh on May 28 on the issue of farmers' loans waiver)," Kumaraswamy said.

Earlier in the day, Kumaraswamy comfortably passed the floor test today, after the BJP MLAs staged a walkout from the Vidhana Soudha (state assembly).

The Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) alliance together with two independent candidates have 117 MLAs, six more than the majority required to form a government in the state. All the 117 MLAs voted in Kumaraswamy's favour.
