“I am resigning from chief minister post and will go before the people again to seek justice against this anti-democratic government,” Yeddyurappa said in the floor of the legislative assembly, almost choking on his words. Yeddyurappa, was sworn in on Thursday while the apex court, hearing the case on Friday, gave the chief minister just one day to prove his majority. Fearing being poached by BJP leaders, both Congress and JD (S) party leaders bungled up all its newly elected members into resorts in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. According to the earlier terms of agreement between Congress and JD (S), H.D.Kumaraswamy is set to be the next chief minister in the post poll alliance between the Congress and the JD(S). Later on Saturday evening, Kumarswamy , after meeting with Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala, said that he would take oath as chief minister on Wednesday.
