Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday unveiled the statues of Father of Indian Constitution B.R. Ambedkar, Kittur queen Rani Chennamma and her confidante Sangolli Rayanna who fought the British in front of the West Entrance of Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi and said that they will serve as an inspiration for all.
Addressing a gathering after unveiling the statues, Mr. Bommai said that while Belagavi is the crown of Karnataka, the statues of Ambedkar, Rani Chennamma and Sangolli Rayanna will be the crown of Suvarna Soudha.
The Chief Minister said: “Historically Belagavi is a prominent city. The bugle of Indian freedom struggle was first blown by Kittur queen Rani Chennamma. Her confidante Sangolli Rayanna fought for freedom and sacrificed his life.”
“During our freedom struggle, Mahatma Gandihi visited Belagavi and B.R. Ambedkar visited Chikkodi. In fact, the highest number of freedom fighters are in Belagavi district and they played a significant role in the freedom struggle,” he said.
Mr. Bommai said that the installation of the statues of the great personalities will always inspire people. “The objective is also to see that the impact of the life, contribution and sacrifice of these great personalities is cast inside the Suvarna Soudha so that the power centre initiated works that will facilitate the establishment of a welfare state, peace and prosperity.”
Elaborating on the welfare schemes and development projects of the present dispensation, Mr. Bommai said that during the recent legislature session in Belagavi, works worth ₹5,500 crore had been initiated.
“This apart, the setting up of Kittur Karnataka Development Authority and Development Board has been announced in the recent budget. The Board will facilitate the initiation of mega projects and release of special grants and also the formulation of congenial policies,” he said.
