The entire Covid situation was systematically controlled under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Government of India had released Rs one lakh crore and two doses of the vaccination were administered to 130 crore population of the India. It became possible because of bold decisions and effective administration of Narendra Modi in the Centre and Yediyurappa in Karnataka. If the Congress Party would was in power during that time, they would have pushed to the state to hell.

These programs are aimed at bringing equality and social harmony in the society.
Committed to implement Yettinahole project
Bommai slammed the Congress Party and said its leaders do not know where Yettinahole? The project was conceived to provide a permanent drinking water solution to the people of this region. The Congress leaders had said it was impossible to bring water here but now they were claiming the credit when the water is about to come. Leaders who had told it was not possible to bring water, were now taking the credit. The real progress was done by the incumbent BJP Government by releasing Rs 3,000 crore with which the feeder works have started for Kolar and Chikballapur. “We are committed to bring Yettinahole water this year and it was the wish of the God that we had started this project.
