The ministry had multiple ministers including the Chief Minister.[2] All ministers belonged to the JP.

After Ramakrishna Hegde quit on moral grounds, Mr. Bommai took charge as Chief Minister of the State on 13 August 1988 and his government was dismissed by the then Governor, P. Venkatasubbaiah, on 21 April 1989. The dismissal was on the grounds that his government had lost its majority following large-scale defections engineered by several Janata Party leaders of the day. Bommai had sought some time from the Governor to prove his majority on the floor of the Legislature and he was denied this. He challenged this order in the Supreme Court.[3]

S. R. Bommai v. Union of India was a landmark judgment of the Supreme Court of India, where the Court discussed at length, the provisions of Article 356 of the Constitution of India and related issues. The apex court spelt out restrictions on the Centre's power to dismiss a state government under Article 356.[4] This case had huge impact on Centre-State Relations. Instances of imposition of President's rule have reduced after this judgement.[5]

gollark: If you buy, say, some sort of food, your friends don't have to buy that if they want to interact with you.
gollark: And most non-messaging/social media stuff isn't subject to the same network effects.
gollark: I mean, not *really*, people will often say "well, if you buy [PRODUCT] from [COMPANY WHICH DOES [BAD THINGS]], you're supporting [BAD THINGS] to some extent".
gollark: Say I want to use Signal, which is better for privacy than WhatsApp, but my friends refuse to use Signal too because they don't care. I'm now forced to use WhatsApp and compromise privacy somewhat.
gollark: Well, if people *want* to interact with you for whatever reason, they have to use Facebook or whatever else you're on.
