Bharatiya Janata Party leader B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday resigned as Chief Minister of Karnataka, only two days after he had taken office. Following the CONGRESS- JD(S) alliance petition to the Apex Court, The Supreme Court had given Yeddyurappa a day’s time to prove his majority during the floor test. 
 During an emotional speech Yeddyurappa announced his resignation on the grounds of failing to prove his majority as the party lacked the numbers, making him the shortest serving Chief Minister of Karnataka for just 55 hours.
