With your permission I have decided that after lunch I will meet governor and tender my resignation…. I am not sad but I am content,” said an emotionally charged Yediyurappa.

Names of Murgesh R Nirani, Basavaraj Bommai, Aravind Bellad, Pralhad Joshi, BL Santhosh and CT Ravi have been doing the rounds as the new chief minister of Karnataka.
