Bangalore, Nov 19 : BS Yedyurappa on Monday evening resigned from the post of Karnataka Chief Minister, hours after coalition partner J D (S) announced to vote against the government in the crucial confidence motion in the Vidhan Soudha.
Yedyurappa, who had taken the oath as the Chief Minister of the State a week ago, submitted his resignation letter to Governor Rameshwar Thakur even before taking the floor test.
After tendering his resignation, Yedyurappa said he was 'cheated' by the BJP leadership, not once but twice.
