Battling huge odds and crass opportunism, Yediyurappa has shown time and again why he is the king
B. S. Yediyurappa has pretty much ploughed a lonely furrow in Karnataka. In a well-entrenched Congress system dominated by patriarchal politicians, it was difficult for political preachers of a different persuasion to tell their side of the story – and make an impact. So, Yediyurappa’s accession as the first saffron Chief Minister (CM) in South India is a little more than symbolic.
Yediyurappa’s journey from Karnataka's Mandya district to Bangalore’s Vidhana Soudha is a chequered one. The twentyfifth Chief Minister of Karnataka, a RSS pracharak, is a fighter. His political destiny began in 1983 when as BJP member, he won and entered the state assembly. Since then, Yediyurappa has single-handedly carried on. In the last two decades, he had lots to contend with; yet at the end, Yediyurappa has emerged triumphant.
Between 1983 to 2008, the BJP has grown from one to 110 seats and a large part of that credit goes to Yediyurappa. He was architect of the doomed Congress-JD(S) power sharing agreement of 2006-07. But by doing it, Yediyurappa got the BJP its first taste of power in the state.
