Karnataka: BS Yeddyurappa Set To Become CM For Fourth Time

The head of the Janata Dal (Secular)-Congress coalition, H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday lost the trust vote in the Assembly on the confidence motion he had moved on July 18 to prove majority. Shortly after losing, he submitted his resignation as the chief minister to Governor Vajubhai Vala. This has now paved way for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) into power corridors of the state. Following the win, Karnataka BJP president BS Yeddyurappa is likely to stake claim to form the government, if accomplished, it would be his fourth stint as Chief Minister of the State.
