“At the same time, we would be happy to have trade ties with Maldives to promote the marketing of our handicrafts and handlooms to reach out to the large number of tourists visiting Maldives,” he said. “Karnataka is known for its diversity of nature, culture, and rich heritage,” he said.
“I am pleased to note that Ms. Sajidha Mohamed was a student in Bengaluru,” the Chief Minister said.
Interestingly, Mr. Siddaramaiah offered greetings and exchanged pleasantries with the Governor, who has attracted criticism from Congress leaders for giving permission to conduct a probe against him in the alleged MUDA scam. The Governor too reciprocated the Chief Minister’s gesture.
