BS Yediyurappa, Spelled Differently, Takes Oath, Trust Vote On Monday | Read
The BJP's BS Yediyurappa was sworn in for the fourth time as Karnataka Chief Minister on Friday, three days after the fall of the 14-month-old Congress-Janata Dal Secular coalition in a test of strength. Mr Yediyurappa says he will prove his majority in the Assembly at 10 am on Monday. His BJP, with the support of 106 lawmakers, is six short of a majority but Mr Yediyurappa says he is "101%" confident of winning. BJP chief Amit Shah reportedly gave his go-ahead to Mr Yediyurappa after Karnataka leaders assured that rebel lawmakers whose resignations brought down the Congress-JDS government of HD Kumaraswamy will back the BJP.
