Bangalore, Nov 30: Estranged Karnataka BJP strongman B S Yeddyurappa, who resigned from the primary membership of the party, today became emotional as he recalled his long association with the party even as he trained


"Some people (in BJP) did not want to me to continue as Chief Minister. They tried to put me in the dock. I tolerated in the past one year with a lot of patience", Yeddyurappa said. "I am leaving the party with deep sadness".
 
Without naming anybody, he said some state leaders "stabbed me in the back".
 
Yeddyurappa said he resigned as Chief Minister following the direction of the party high-command last year as the "disciplined soldier" of the party. "They mistook my goodness as a weakness".
