Yeddyurappa to resign on July 31; hunt for successor on

After putting up a fight for over 24 hours, BS Yeddyurappa has finally agreed to resign as Chief Minister of Karnataka on July 31. A hunt is now on for his successor. BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh will be in Bangalore today as observers to oversee the election of a new legislative party leader. While the MLAs select the new Chief Minister, Mr Yeddyurappa, sources say, is likely to go on an extensive tour of temples.
