Yeddy to resign?

It’s seems to be official now, if some unreliable sources are to be believed!
Buckling to the two-and-half years of squabbling, backstabbing, revolt by the BJP MLAs and an unrelenting Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has finally decided to step down.
The volte-face of Yeddyurappa, who was considered to be the perfect model to market Fevicol for remaining stuck to the thorny throne for two-and-half years, does not just end here. He has also decided to live like an ascetic and spend rest of his life in a mutt somewhere in Tumkur.
Unreliable sources privy to Yeddyurappa told this scribe exclusively that the chief minister’s change of heart was mainly due to a rebuke from the party high command for failing to contain growing dissidence in the party and an all-time-high nepotism, which crossed the standard benchmark.
He recently spoke his mind to his die-hard follower and a POWERFUL minister in his cabinet, from where the news leaked out. It was learnt that the minister was in sync with his plans to step down but broke after learning about his wish to lead an austere life. The minister tried hard to persuade Yeddyurappa and fell on his feet but he was unyielding.
The chief minister recently had a chat with the swami of the Mutt over phone who readily offered refuge to him. The same unreliable sources continued to claim that the scene, when chief minister would step down (which may occur anytime within a week, they say), would be similar to Rama’s exile. They also claimed his fans have elaborate plans to make his entry to ascetic life a memorable one and have bought an ochre robe for him!
