Bengaluru: B S Yeddyurappa on Thursday became the chief minister for a third time, but broke his own record of the most short-lived head of government in Karnataka on Saturday, as he bowed out of office in three days.

In 2007, when he first was sworn in, his Chief Ministership lasted for only slightly longer than 8 days from November 12 to 19, before the JD(S) pulled out of the coalition government,. In 2011 again, his tenure as CM was cut short by two years following his indictment in the illegal mining scam.
