Union home minister Amit Shah
BELAGAVI/BAGALKOT: A day after exuding confidence over the BJP government completing its full term in Karnataka, Union home minister Amit Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister BS Yediyurappa are the “double engine” of development in the state.
Hailing Modi’s pro-poor policies and Yediyurappa’s decisions in Karnataka, Shah said the duo has been working tirelessly towards developing the state. The statement is being read by Yediyurappa loyalists as continued reaffirmation of the central leadership’s confidence in the CM, despite dissidence within the state unit over choice of new ministers and questions over his political future.
