On his arrival at Sri Vari Temple, officials have welcomed the former prime minister with temple honors and led him to the sanctum sanctorium. .After offering prayers, the Vedic pandits rendered ‘Vedasirvachanam’ to the Gowda at Ranganayakula Mandapam.
After returning to Bengaluru, he interacted with the media and said that farmers across the country are in distress. Farmers are driven to commit suicide. The same has been brought to the notice of the prime minister, he added.
In the evening, a seminar on Regional Parties’ Role in Federal System was organised to mark the birthday of Gowda.
Addressing the gathering, Gowda said judiciary, legislature and executive have lost their dignity. “I had announced that I would resign as MP if the BJP comes to power on its strength. I did not do so because I knew how the BJP would function. I have expressed my displeasure at the manner in which the Centre is performing. I have conveyed the same to the prime minister,” he said.
The BJP is trying to create ‘Hindu Rashtra’ by promoting the concept of one country and one language. This would affect Indian federal system, he said.
