Bengaluru, Jul 26: Ending the suspense over his tenure, an emotionally charged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday announced his resignation from the post from Vidhana Soudha, on the day he completed two years in office and later drove to Raj Bhavan to submit his resignation letter to the Governor, who asked him to stay in office till alternative arrangements were made.

After lunch, the 78-year-old Lingayat leader, who became Chief Minister of the State in July 2019 after 17 MLAs belonging to Congress and JD(S), brought down the H D Kumarawamy-led coalition government by resigning from their respective parties, drove to Raj Bhavan along with Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi, Home and Law Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Health and Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar and formally tendered his resignation letter to Governor Tavar Chand Gehlot.

The Governor immediately accepted the resignation and asked Yediyurappa to continue in office till alternative arrangements for electing the BJP legislature party leader for installing the new Chief Minister are made.

Speaking to media representatives after submitting his resignation letter, the outgoing Chief Minister made it clear that he has tendered his resignation letter on his own and not due to any pressure.

Yediyurappa, once again, chose the opportunity to profusely thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President J P Nadda for giving him an opportunity to become Chief Minister for the fourth time despite being above 75 years in age for the fourth time.

Yediyurappa made it clear that he will be working for the strengthening the party and bring it back to power in the ensuing assembly elections in 2023 and also in the next lok sabha polls in 2024.

Answering questions, the outgoing Chief Minister disclosed that he had made up his mind to quit two months back but was persuaded to stay in office till the completion of the second anniversary.

He asserted that he will work as an ordinary party worker and made it clear that he will not accept any position.

    Last time when Yeddy came to power and went to Parappana Agrahara jail. I had told I will not comment in this website if Yeddy comes back to power. 2 yrs before again he gained power with crocked means. So as per my word I did not comment since last 2yrs. So today opportunity has come. Yeddy has amassed lots of wealth during these 2 yrs. opposition does not want to talk about it. But high command has made note of it. Bcz they did not got their share. Yeddy will form his own party soon. Same as before and make a way for congress to rule next 5 yrs.

NOT SPEWING VENOM MODERATE .. had clear thought process in public utterances .. not senile and taking back statements . Back tracking ..etc unfortunately family members got involved in the last few years Corruption etc ...

    To remain in power for 2 years he had to spend 2 thousand crores collectively to central BJP unit. After all horse-trading one day he had to come down, good lesson to all BJP powerful - power hungry politicians.

    "He made it clear that he has submitted the resignation on his own and not under pressure". What a joke!!! Whole world knows that he was kicked out, yet he wants to show that he offered his rear for getting kicked. He thinks that all have forgotten the story of Yeddi plus Reddy group bribery episode.

    Yediyurappa has proved beyond doubts that he is most un auspicious to occupy CM post. Broken the records for being CM, out and in what a pity. I think Karnataka has reached height of Kar nataka under Yediurappa tenure. Karma follows if you chose to survive by illegal, immoral way to hold position and cheat peoples trust. Now settle in the estate.

    This man had single handedly built the BJP and brought it to power in Karnataka. Not a single person in the BJP has even 1% of his charisma, passion and qualities. The entire lot are just scavengers who were preying on his successes. He had a lot of shortcomings like his famous short temper, but he still had a heart and never had a communal mindset like many of his colleagues in the party. The Lingayat community had shown its back to the Congress after Veerendra Patil's humiliation and the same will happen to the BJP now.

    Very sad....very sad... this fellow yediyurappa is leaving his CM position on his own accord and not due to pressure from his high command!!! The lust for power is the ultimate goal of all politicians in our country, during five years of rule, they become fat in many, many ways, I don't have to spell out here. Money/power and insatiable longing for power are the three key drivers for politicians this applies to all our politicians, exceptions may be there but very few. He and his son has amassed millions, shamlessely, yet my party high command knows it full well, I don't think CBI, ED, Income tax raids wont happen to catch these thieves, becomes here is a bird of same feather and colour, so central govt of modi/shah will keep quite. Its a shame in our country our higher courts of country did not act when congress ruled govt was made to topple through horse trading aka bribes in multi crores to the shameless congress MLA's And we general public will take another 50-100 years to use our common sense to choose right party/candidates. For us Hindus, any party rising Hindutva, saffron colour and divinding other communities is ok. We never question their credentials, their performance and we simply for for these idiots who are mis representing Hindutva, neither BJP, nor congress nor any party in india can be trusted when it comes to safeguarding our sanatana dharma, as these politicians are only trying to win votes and make money while on power. Lets wake up from our sleep and for thousands of years our sanatana dharma has survived and sutained through our holy sages, honest people and surely and certainly not because of these nautanki politicians and fake swamis. Lets realise that.
