Gone in 55 hours: Yeddyurappa becomes CM with one of the shortest stints

BS Yeddyurappa who was sworn in as Chief Minister of Karnataka for the third time on Thursday lasted only 55 hours in the job this time around. After reading the writings on the wall, Karnataka CM resigned after giving an emotional speech shortly before the trust vote was taken. With that, Yeddyurappa has now the dubious record of one of the shortest stint as Chief Minister of a state. 

Here's the list of other Chief Ministers who had very few days in the office: 

Jagdambika Pal  Chief Minister of UP for 3 days from 21 February 1998 to 23 February 1998.
