Vala was involved in a controversy during the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections.
He invited the largest party, Bharatiya Janata Party to form the government and not the largest post poll alliance consisting of the Indian National Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular).
He also gave the new Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa 15 days to prove his majority in the house.
His decision was vehemently opposed by all non-BJP alliance parties in the nation, and the INC approached the Supreme Court in this matter.
Supreme court decreed that in case when no coalition/party has clear majority, the governor of the state has the legal power to decide who forms the government in that state.
But, the same court shortened the 15 day time limit given by Vala to Yeddyurappa to prove majority, into just 3 days, and also mandated that the house proceeding including vote should be telecast live.
Yeddyurappa resigned after the house convened, citing that he could not muster the majority.
Kumaraswamy of Janata Dal was invited to become the new Chief Minister.
However, 14 months later, Kumaraswamy's government collapsed.
Later Yeddyurappa easily managed to sail through with 106 BJP MLAs.
