In an emotional speech before stepping down as Chief Minister, B S Yeddyurappa today accused the Congress-JDS combine of forming an 'opportunistic' alliance and said the popular mandate had been subverted due to their 'conspiracy.'
Taunting Congress and JDS, a glum looking Yeddyurappa said "today the family members may be a bit happy as they are seeing them (MLAs)."
He however added, "who am I to question in politics? Expectation is different, there may be differences."
Assuring people that 'till his last breath',he will travel across Karnataka,he said he would explain the developments and ensure that the party wins all 28 seats of the state in the Lok Sabha elections next year and "give it as a gift to Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

To Kumaraswamy, he said "I have come throughstruggle. Someone said if you don't give me power I will endmy life...I won't say that. Whether I get power or not, I will give my life for the people."
