BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa met Karnataka Governor on Friday to stake claim to form the government in the state.

He also requested him to hold oath ceremony by this evening. Talking to media, Yeddyurappa said that Governor has agreed for the swearing in today itself.

The 14-month-old Congress-JDS coalition government headed by Kumaraswamy collapsed on Tuesday after losing the vote of confidence in the Assembly in a climax to the three-week long intense power struggle.
