Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa resigned from the CM post. The Lingayat leader had announced that he would take the decision on his future as Karnataka CM on July 26 when his government completed two years in the state.
“It has been an honour to have served the state for the past two years. I have decided to resign as the Chief Minister of Karnataka. I am humbled and sincerely thank the people of the state for giving me the opportunity to serve them,” BS Yediyurappa said in a tweet.
According to the report he said “We will see tomorrow. I haven’t received any information from high command yet. By tonight or tomorrow morning I’ll get to know. Tomorrow we will celebrate the two-year anniversary (of the Karnataka government that was elected to power in 2019).”
BS Yediyurappa broke down as he spoke at the two-year anniversary of his government. Amid speculation about leadership change in Karnataka and the exit of Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, the names of several leaders have been doing the rounds for the key post. The Panchamasali Lingayat community has been demanding the chief ministerial post for several months.
