Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa met around 70 seers in Belagavi on Thursday. He spoke to a congregation of mutt heads in Hukkeri Hiremath and asked them to bless the party candidate Mangala Angadi in the byelections and pray that the State was free from COVID-19 soon.
He said he was working hard towards making Karnataka a model State. “We are facing challenges such as COVID-19. In the midst of this, the BJP governments at the Centre and the State were trying to create a sense of culture, religion and nation among the people. The people of the country are so faithful that they have donated ₹2,500 crore for the Ram temple at Ayodhya. This is commendable,” he added.
