Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa announces resignation after days of speculation

Ending days of 'will he, won't he' suspense, Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday announced his resignation from the post of chief minister.
Yediyurappa's resignation came on a day when his government completed two years in power.
There have been intense speculations about a leadership change in the southern state with many of his colleagues openly revolting against the CM.
On the event to celebrate 2 years of the BJP government, an emotional Yediyurappa said that he has been through several agni parikshas during his years in power.
The 78-year-old CM broke down in the Karnataka assembly before announcing that he would resign after lunch.
Yediyurappa had dropped a big hint on Sunday that his future as Chief Minister was uncertain.
