Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated Basavaraj Bommai on taking oath as the new chief minister of Karnataka and said he brings with him rich legislative and administrative experience.
In his tweets, Modi also praised former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, saying no words will ever do justice to his "monumental contribution" to the BJP and the growth of its members.
"For decades, he toiled hard, travelled across all parts of Karnataka and struck a chord with people. He is admired for his commitment to social welfare," the Prime Minister said.
