B S Yeddyurappa looked grim, in contrast to three days ago at the induction of 21 ministers into the Cabinet, where he was seen smiling away. After all, three of the five ministers sworn in on Thursday had rebelled against him at one time or the other.
Jarkiholi and Asnotikar were sacked by Yeddyurappa in October last for rebelling against him.
Raju Gouda had also rebelled against the leadership of Yeddyurappa, but had toed the party line after much persuasion. Things have come a full circle since, with, Yeddyurappa having to demit office.
