It was a dangerous signal for the Congress party as the BJP could spread its influence to other states of the region.
As usual, the Congress party very cleverly used the office of the Governor to tarnish the image of Yeddyurappa and his image took a beating. Once your image takes a beating, every move of yours is looked at with suspicion and Yeddyurappa became a victim of negative public perception.
But more than the Congress, Yedyurappa's own party members wanted to see the end of his innings as Karnataka CM.
Everybody knows that Ananth Kumar , who is very close to L K Advani, was never happy with BS Yeddyurappa's ascendance to Karnataka's CM chair. Despite not possessing any mass base on his own, he always considered himself to be the right claimant to the CM's chair.
And then the rest of damage was done by none other than Advani himself. With an eye on NDA's PM candidature for 2014 general elections, Advani started pushing for the removal of B S Yeddyurappa so that he could position himself as a true crusader against corruption.
This deadly combination of Advani and Ananth Kumar did Yedyurappa in. More than the corruption cases lodged against Yeddyurappa, it was the internal backstabbing that queered the pitch for Yeddyurappa.
