While BJP’s chief ministerial candidate for Karnataka assembly elections BS Yeddyurappa has seen a 12% increase in his assets since the 2013 elections, his educational qualifications have taken a considerable dip in the past few years.

During 2013 state assembly elections in Karnataka, the 75-year-old BJP leader showed a BA (Bachelor of Arts) from Bangalore University as educational qualification. However in 2014, and again in 2018, Yeddyurappa—who has filed his nomination papers for the Shikaripura Assembly constituency—in his election affidavit says he has done a Pre-University Course (PUC) from Government College Mandya, Mysore University in the year 1960-61. This is also known as Plus-two, ie, 12th pass.

The relevant portions of Yeddyurappa’s affidavits, accessed from myneta.info, can be seen below:
