MAY 30,
Savouring the historic occasion were top party leaders such as L K Advani, Rajnath Singh, Narendra Modi [Images], Venkaiah Naidu and Arun Jaitley. Twenty-nine MLAs were also sworn in as ministers with Cabinet ranks. (See the list below ).
"I swear in the name of the farmer and God," Yeddyurappa said while taking oath even as a crowd of 75,000 cheered him on.
Yeddyurappa was administered oath of office by Governor Rameshwar Thakur on the steps of the historic Vidhan Soudha, which houses the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council.
Showing victory signs to his supporters, Yeddyurappa sought the blessings of senior BJP leaders after being sworn in.
This is the second time that Yeddyurappa is being sworn in as the chief minister of Karnataka. The last experience turned out to be a bitter experience as the BJP government was pulled down after seven days by coalition partner, the Janata Dal (S).
