In a dramatic turn of events, BS Yeddyurappa quit as chief minister in the Karnataka assembly moments before the assembly was to vote on his motion seeking the trust of the house. At the end of a speech that outlined what he would have done for Karnataka, Mr Yeddyurappa said it was his dream to be the Chief Minister at a time PM Narendra Modi is the leading the nation. Sources told NDTV that the decision had been taken by the BJP leadership that did not want any taint of horse-trading on the party in an election year.
