Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy today voiced his support to his Karnataka counterpart, Vajubhai Vala, for inviting B S Yeddyurappa of the BJP to form the government in the southern state, saying he had "acted in his best conscience".

Yeddyurappa quit after just three days in office, without facing the floor test in the Assembly today.

Asked about his take on Vala's role, Roy told reporters, "The Karnataka governor acted in his best conscience. That matter, as far as I understand, was left to the discretion of the governor, subject to correction by the Supreme Court."
