B.S. Yeddyurappa (pictured here), chief minister of Karnataka state in India, stepped down from his position yesterday, as a result of pressure by the leadership of his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the main opposition party in the country at the national level.
Last Wednesday, a report by an anti-corruption panel associated him and his family with a scheme of illegal mining of iron ore in the state. Mr. Yeddyurappa has denied all accusations.
