Karnataka Election result 2018: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday resigned as the chief minister of Karnataka, two days after he took oath. Delivering an emotional speech in the Karnataka Assembly, Yeddyurappa slammed the "opportunistic alliance" between Congress and Janata Dal (Secular), labelling it "unholy".
Yeddyurappa said his only ambition was to serve people. “My entire life has been a test. Today is another. People of Karnataka have voted for us, and shown faith in the BJP.”
"I will lose nothing if I lose power, my life is for the people," Yeddyurappa said before announcing his resignation.
Earlier, the Congress launched a scathing attack on the BJP and Yeddyurappa, accusing them of luring its MLAs.
The Congress on Saturday released an audio tape where Yeddyurappa is purportedly heard trying to lure an MLA with the promise of a ministerial berth if he backed the BJP government during the trust vote.
