B S Yediyurappa: A Dominant Force in Karnataka Politics Born 27 February 1943, B S Yediyurappa is a veteran Indian politician and a prominent figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His political career spans decades, marked by significant achievements and controversies. Elected eight times as a...n MLA from Shikaripura, he holds the record for the longest-serving BJP Chief Minister of Karnataka, having served four terms. He also served three times as the Leader of the Opposition. His rise to prominence began with the BJP's maiden victory in the 2008 Karnataka Assembly elections, leading to his first stint as Chief Minister. A subsequent corruption case led to his resignation in 2011, followed by an acquittal in 2016. A brief period away from the BJP, forming the Karnataka Janata Paksha, ended with his return to the party in 2014. He served as a Lok Sabha MP before returning to state politics. His 2018 and 2019 Chief Ministership tenures were marked by political maneuvering and a subsequent loss of majority in the assembly. His resignation in July 2021 concluded his fourth term. Currently, he serves on the BJP's National Parliamentary Board. His legacy is defined by his long tenure, electoral successes, and influence within the BJP's Karnataka unit, despite facing periods of instability and accusations of corruption.
