The remarks by Congress Leaders P Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal came amid reports that the Governor is inviting the BJP to take a shot at power and the swearing-in of its chief ministerial nominee BS Yeddyurappa will take place tomorrow.
"Our majority is established... The Governor should not act illegally. The Congress-JD(S) combine must be invited to form the government," said Sibal.
Chidambaram said the Governor should not resort to a "perilous path" by not inviting the JD(S)-Congress coalition.
Both the BJP and JDS-Congress combine with 104 and 115 seats have respectively staked claim to form the government in the state after it delivered a fractured verdict.
