On the 2nd of March, Rajnath Singh addresses the ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ In Belagavi, Karnataka.
He said, ” Karnataka is not only a leading state of South India but of the whole of India. Here is a unique confluence of mythology and modernity. On this earth, where Lord Basaveshwara resides in every particle, the memories of Adikavi Pampa, Ponna, and Rana are still alive on this earth. This land is the land of Akka Mahadevi”.
Rajnath Singh said, “The heroic story of Chennamma, the queen of Kittur, is heard and narrated today not only in Karnataka but also in the country and abroad. This state of Karnataka has been witness to a long tradition of bravery and valor”.
Singh said, “Country’s first Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa refused to release his son who was in captivity in the enemy’s country, saying that every Indian prisoner of war in Pakistan is his son. I refuse to release a son. This earth has given birth to such heroes”.
He said, “Yeddyurappa ji resigned from the post of Chief Minister due to health reasons and Basavaraj Bommai ji is running the government in Karnataka for the last one and a half years. Yediyurappaji has served the party and the state as a ‘son of the soil’ for several decades”.
Rajnath Singh said, “Like PM Modi, Yeddyurappa has the same desire that the BJP government should be formed again in Karnataka for five years so that in the next five years, Karnataka can be made the number one state of South India. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had just come to Karnataka on 27th February. Here he inaugurated a magnificent airport in Shimoga. After Hubli, the opening of a big airport in Shimoga will also help people a lot”.
