2007-18: Three short terms as CM

B.S. SATISH KUMAR, May 20, 2018: The Hindu

B.S. Yeddyurappa was third time unlucky as he broke his own record on Saturday of serving the shortest time as Chief Minister of Karnataka. He quit as CM after less than three days at the helm. He took oath as CM around 9 a.m. on May 17, 2018 and tendered his resignation around 4.15 p.m. on May 19, 2018.

His first stint as CM in 2007 saw him in power only for a week as the coalition partner, Janata Dal (S), withdrew support. The second time, when Mr. Yeddyurappa came to power in 2008, he had to quit in 2011 before completing his term. This followed his indictment in a Lokayukta report on illegal mining. Speaking in the House on May 19, 2018, he said, “It is a test of fire (Agni Parikshe) for me. In fact, my life has always seen such tests.”
