Karnataka CM BS Yeddyurappa had got away without a scratch on at least three occasions, but was mauled this time by the mining report. The Lingayat strongman didn’t flinch when a section of MLAs revolted a couple of times, when land denotification was exposed, and when the governor sanctioned his prosecution in January 2011. This time, the party had to trust Lokayukta Santosh N Hegde’s findings on illegal mining. This because Hegde had withdrawn his resignation last year at the request of L K Advani and party chief Nitin Gadkari. Also, party veteran Arun Jaitley confirmed the charges against Yeddyurappa were, indeed, serious. B S Yeddyurappa has said he’d quit on July 31 as per the party’s directive. “I’ve toiled for 40 years to build the party. It’s my desire to work for the party in future too,” says a late-night press statement issued by the CM.
