Bengaluru: Bookanakere Siddalingappa Yediyurappa, often referred to by his initials, BSY was the BJP’s first and only Chief Minister in Southern Karnataka till date.
Yediyurappa, born 27 February 1943 served as the chief minister of Karnataka for four terms. After months of speculation, BS Yediyurappa on Monday resigned from the top post.
Addressing the Vidhan Soudha, Yediyurappa said, “I’ve gone through agni pariksha always. For two months (in 2019) I didn’t get to make my Cabinet. There were floods and I roamed like a mad man. Later the Cabinet was formed.”
“One after another I faced many hurdles. I’ve worked in spite of it. I don’t know how to thank government workers, chief secretary. All of them worked hard and trusted me. Karnataka saw development because of this,” Yediyurappa said.
“I’ve a debt to pay back to the people of Karnataka. I ask officers and MLAs – people have lost trust in all of us. We should work harder and in clean honest way. Many officials are honest. All should become that. Bengaluru is being developed into a world-class city,” Yediyurappa added.
The towering Lingayat leader had on Sunday announced that he would take the decision on his future as Karnataka CM on July 26 when his government completed two years in the state.
