The BJP's BS Yeddyurappa will be sworn in for the fourth time as Karnataka Chief Minister this evening, three days after the coalition government led by HD Kumaraswamy failed a test of strength. Mr. Yeddyurappa met with Governor Vajubhai Vala this morning to stake a claim and urged him to schedule an oath ceremony today. Mr. Yeddyurappa has to prove his majority by July 31 but sources say he may seek a trust vote before that, on Monday. The BJP's move ends speculation that the party was playing it safe to secure its numbers in the assembly.
