God fails to save K'taka CM, Yeddyurappa agrees to resign

Bangalore, Jul 28: After the high drama over his resignation, BS Yeddyurappa on Thursday, Jul 28 finally agreed to table his letter of resignation as the Chief Minister of Karnataka.

Yeddyurappa reportedly was accomplishing the last minute works at his office at Race Course Road in Bangalore at the time of writing the report.

The Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde had submitted his deadly report on illegal mining which indicted the state CM completely. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also retracted the support for Yeddyurappa and asked him (BSY) to step down from the CM post.

Sources informed that senior BJP leaders Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley, who will reach the Silicon City on Friday, will take the final decision on Yeddyurappa's successor with the consent from the present CM (BSY). Ananth Kumar, Jagdish Shettar and KS Eshwarappa are in the fray to be the new CM of Karnataka.
