Mysuru, August 17,2021 (www.justkannada.in): “Every year, I used to climb the steps of Chamundi hills and have the darshan of Goddess Chamundeshwari during ‘Ashaada’ month. But this time, there were instructions for all the Union Ministers not to leave the headquarters. Hence, I couldn’t visit this year. But I will visit during Navarathri,” opined Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje.
She visited the Chamundi hills today. Speaking to the press persons after her visit she said, “everyone used to tease me saying I cannot conduct Mysuru Dasara in an organized manner. But with the blessings of Goddess Chamundeshwari, I handled it successfully.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recognized me, a farmer’s daughter, and has given the responsibility of agriculture portfolio. When I was in school there was no power or proper roads in my village. I come from such a village. But the Hon’ble Prime Minister has given me this responsibility with all faith. I have to protect the interest of 80% of farmers of this country. I have to ensure to prevent them from migrating to other professions quitting agriculture. I am in the process of preparing suitable plans in this regard,” she added.
