Indian state chief resigns to avoid vote of confidence

B.S. Yeddyurappa of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stepped down after just two days in the post and minutes before he was to have faced a vote of confidence in the Karnataka state assembly.
His move ended a week of mounting acrimony between Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP and the opposition Congress party.
