B. S. Yediyurappa vs Charles Stewart Parnell

Yediyurappa became Chief Minister of Karnataka for the first time in November 2007, leading a BJP-Janata Dal (Secular) coalition government. His term lasted only seven days after the JD(S) withdrew support, making it one of the shortest tenures in Karnataka history.

Yediyurappa led the BJP to victory in the 2008 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, forming the first BJP government in South India. He served as Chief Minister from 2008 to 2011, focusing on infrastructure projects and irrigation schemes.

Yediyurappa resigned as Chief Minister in July 2011 following allegations of corruption in the mining sector, as highlighted by the Lokayukta report. His resignation marked a significant political setback for the BJP in Karnataka.

Yediyurappa became Chief Minister for a third time in July 2019 after the BJP formed a government following the collapse of the Congress-JD(S) coalition. He served until July 2021, overseeing the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yediyurappa resigned as Chief Minister in July 2021, complying with the BJP's policy of rotating leadership. His resignation paved the way for Basavaraj Bommai to become Chief Minister, marking the end of his direct control over Karnataka's government.
