Congress and JDS MLAs flash victory signs, rejoice in assembly as BS Yeddyurappa steps down as CM.
Facing trust vote in the Karnataka Assembly after the post-results drama, Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday resigned from his post before the floor test as the BJP failed to fetch the required numbers to rule the state.
According to sources, Yeddyurappa had a conversation with party High Command earlier in the day, which asked the Karnataka BJP legislative party leader to tender his resignation if he is unable to manage the majority vote.
Elections held on May 12 to 222 of the state's 224 seats have resulted in a hung assembly with the BJP having 104 MLAs, while the Congress won 78 seats and JD(S) 37. Polling in two seats will be held later.
