Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa finally tendered his resignation officially on Sunday. He handed over the copy of resignation to governor H R Bhardwaj at 4.15 pm ending his tumultuous 38-month tenure.
Yeddyurappa thanked people and party for giving him an opportunity to rule the state. "I am satisfied by the work I have done. I will continue to strive to strengthen the party," he told reporters.
In a show of strength to the party high command, Yeddyurappa walked to the Raj Bhavan from his residence along with a host of ministers, MPs and MLAs to tender resignation. He flashed his trademark victory symbol before entering the Raj Bhavan.
