The Chief Minister on the steps of Vidhana Soudha here today launched the ‘Mruthike’ (sacred mud) collection campaign as a prelude to unveiling the statue.
”This statue has been built to strive for the continuous development of the state. The signs of good days for Karnataka are seen from this statue. It would give the confidence of building ‘Nava Bharath ‘ (New Bharat) through ‘Navakarnataka’ (New Karnataka),” Bommai said.
”The future will be dull if we forget the history and it is our duty to show respect to the kings who built this state. Buddha, Basavanna and Mahaveera were basically administrators but they reformed for the welfare of people through spirituality. But Kempegowda stayed amidst the people and built the lives of people,” he said.
