Yeddyurappa has been sworn in as Chief Minister for the fourth time. The last time he became chief minister after the May 2018 assembly elections was he was able to stay in office for three days. Yeddyurappa changed the spelling of his name in English before taking the oath. He used to write 'D' twice in his name, but now he has removed a D and added 'I'. The change was revealed by a letter to the Governor claiming to form the government. After resigning as CM in 2007, Yeddyurappa changed the spelling of his name for the first time, then removed the eye and imposed additional D. It is believed that he has changed it again on the advice of Numerology.
