Karnataka Floor Test: Huge Breaking! BS Yeddyurappa Resigns As CM | ABP News

Karnataka Floor Test: Huge Breaking! BS Yeddyurappa resigns as CM Facing trust vote in the Karnataka Assembly after the post-results drama, Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday resigned from his post before the floor test as the BJP failed to fetch the required numbers to rule the state. According to sources, Yeddyurappa had a conversation with party High Command earlier in the day, which asked the Karnataka BJP legislative party leader to tender his resignation if he is unable to manage the majority vote. Elections held on May 12 to 222 of the state's 224 seats have resulted in a hung assembly with the BJP having 104 MLAs, while the Congress won 78 seats and JD(S) 37. Polling in two seats will be held later. The Congress-JD(S) combine has claimed the support of 117 MLAs, including one each from the BSP and the KPJP, and one Independent. The JD(S)'s effective strength will be 36 at the time of voting, as its leader H D Kumaraswamy has won from two seats. This has reduced the strength of the House to 221 and the BJP will require 111 votes for a simple majority. Earlier, Congress and JD(S) MLAs who were camping at a hotel in Hyderabad, fearing alleged attempts of poaching by the BJP, came back to the city this morning.
