Bengaluru: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that his government was committed to the development of the state and the people. 

“I have an emotional bonding with Belagavi where the state’s first legislature session was held in 2006 during my previous tenure,” he said.

CM praised the people of the state for their spirit of unity and strong will against attempts to divide the state. “I salute the spirit of unity demonstrated by Kannadigas against the division of Karnataka. Their strong will has silenced the feeble voices of division of the state before they become louder,” said Kumaraswamy.

“The state government aims to improve the human development index of all districts across the state. Besides basic infrastructure, amenities like education, health and social security for all are our priority,” he said.

On the Rs 49,000-crore crop loan waiver to distressed farmers, the chief minister said an official order would soon be issued on it for loans raised from state-run banks, benefiting 20.4-lakh farmers across the state.
