Yeddyurappa will be sworn in as CM tomorrow, claims BJP leader

Karnataka BJP legislature party leader B S Yeddyurappa would be sworn in as chief minister tomorrow, senior state BJP leader and party spokesman Suresh Kumar claimed today.

"B S Yeddyurappa will take oath as chief minister at 9.30 am at Raj Bhavan tomorrow. Let us all gather on this happy occasion," Kumar said in a tweet in Kannada.

There was, however, no official communique from Raj Bhavan.

Both the BJP and JDS-Congress combine have staked claim to form the government in the state after it delivered a fractured verdict.
