Karnataka CM to release performance report after completion of 1 year of office

It has been a tough one year for BS Yediyurappa in his fourth stint as chief minister as he has been battling various challenges such as floods, Cabinet expansion, bypolls and now coronavirus outbreak

A day after Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa completed a year in office, a report of the BJP-led state government's performance will be released on Monday (July 27).
 

The event planned to be held at Vidhana Soudha from 11 am will be attended by all district centres using online methods, Karnataka CMO confirmed.
 

However, for the chief minister, his one-year tenure in office has been a trial by fire, as he famously stated after completing 100 days.

Since he stormed to power under controversial circumstances and took charge as CM for the fourth time on July 26 last year, Yediyurappa has been facing a series of challenges.
 

Though he began his stint on a fiery note, promising drastic changes in three months, the unprecedented floods that hit 25 of the state’s 30 districts in August last year swamped his first three months in office.

Another four months went by for bypolls and dissidence over cabinet expansion.

The latest being fighting the coronavirus pandemic. The state had been a model for other states to follow and contain the spread of the deadly virus. But within weeks, Karnataka became the fourth worst-hit state in the country and the government is struggling to contain the spread.
