Its refreshing to see leaders from different parties coming together for development. But I hope this is not just for the cameras. Actions matter more than words.
Mysuru is truly special! Vivekananda's connection with the city makes this centre so meaningful. Our youth need this kind of inspiration. Great initiative by the PM and CM. 🙏
As a Kannadiga, I feel proud seeing our CM set aside political differences for the state's progress. India truly grows when states work together with the Centre.
"India has to grow with Karnataka" - well said, CM. Karnataka has contributed massively to India's IT revolution and innovation. Hope this bipartisanship leads to more developmental projects in our state.
While I appreciate the gesture, we need to question whether this is genuine cooperation or just electoral politics. We've seen many such promises before elections. Let's wait and watch for real action.
The youth centre is a wonderful tribute to Swami Vivekananda. His teachings are timeless and relevant even today, especially for our youth. Good to see leaders coming together for this cause.
