Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that he would be visiting Delhi to discuss the cabinet expansion with BJP National President JP Nadda and other senior leaders. His remarks came during the ongoing Jan Sankalp yatra in the state.
Addressing the reporters at Sambra Airport on Saturday, he said everyone would be informed when the high command gives permission for the cabinet expansion.
When asked about Shiv Sena opposing the construction of Kannada Bhavan at Kaneri Mutt in Kolhapur, Bommai said, “Already there are Kannada Bhavans of various associations and organisations in temples and Yatri Nivas. In these issues, state or language barriers must not come.” He also highlighted KLE Society founder, Prabhakar Kore’s contribution in various fields.
“It was great to celebrate the 75th birthday of KLE Society founder, Prabhakar Kore, who is quite popular in North Karnataka for making rich contributions in the fields of education, health, and agriculture, for the last 40 years. Kore has been gifted with a strength to work relentlessly and is always friendly,” he added.
Earlier on 15 October, CM Bommai asked what the meaning of the Bharat Jodo Yatra is when the country is already marching ahead as a united India.
“When India is growing as a strong nation, the Bharat Jodo by the Congress Party has no meaning. What is the meaning of Bharath Jodo yatra? Already, the country has been marching ahead as a united India,” said Bommai.
CM Bommai also said the three-day Jan Sankalp yatra evoked a good response in four districts.
