B.S. Yediyurappa is a mass leader of Karnataka, working for the welfare of all communities, says BJP State president.
The former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa is not just a leader of any one community. It is wrong to limit his influence to the Lingayat community, BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra said at Maradi Nagalapur village in Belagavi district on Sunday.
Mr. Yediyurappa is a leader of the whole State. He is a mass leader. He has worked for the development of the State and the party all his life. In his four times as Chief Minister, he has worked for the welfare of farmers and rural poor. As Leader of Opposition, he has raised issues concerning farmers and the rural poor, Mr. Vijayendra said.
He was speaking during the inauguration of the Sri B.S. Yediyurappa Kalyan Mantap in the village. His father Mr. Yediyurappa was present.
Mr. Vijayendra said that he will walk in his father’s footsteps to strengthen the party and to raise issues of the common man in the legislature.
Mr. Vijayendra also recalled the moral support given to him by his mother Maitradevi.
Earlier, Mr. Vijayendra criticised the State Budget saying it reflects the appeasement policies of the Congress.
He accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of trying to create conflict between various communities, by discriminating against some groups.
