Yediyurappa,76, took over as the CM for the fourth time following weeks of turmoil ending in the Kumaraswamy-led Congress-JDS coalition losing trust vote earlier this week after 15 MLAs of the ruling coalition rebelled against the chief minister along with a couple of other independent MLAs.

A group of Karnataka BJP leaders, including Jagdish Shettar, Arvind Limbavali, J C Madhuswamy, Basavaraj Bommai and Yediyurappa’s son Vijayendra Thursday had met party chief Amit Shah in New Delhi and reportedly discussed the government formation.
