In an unusual turn of events, BJP Karnataka President BS Yeddyurappa changed the spelling of his name hours before taking oath as the chief minister of the state.
The soon-to-be-chief minister changed the spelling of his name to BS Yediyurappa on his verified Twitter handle. The change also reflected in a letter that he wrote to BJP President Amit Shah ahead of his oath-taking ceremony.
Earlier, Yediyurappa had announced that he will be taking oath as the chief minister of Karnataka at 6 pm on July 26. The move came after the Congress-JD(S) government fell in the state when outgoing chief minister HD Kumaraswamy lost the trust vote 99-105 on July 23.
While there is no official communication to the media on the change of spellings, this could be attributed to a superstitious quirk or a good luck charm before the start of a new term. After all, he is not the only politician who would indulge in a ritual before the start of something new.
We wish you all the best, BS Yediyurappa!
