Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has thanked Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for permitting the Indian Air Force (IAF) hold an air show during the famous Mysuru Dasara program this year.
Siddaramaiah, who wrote to the Union Minister on Thursday, reportedly also invited him to attend the Dasara celebrations, saying it would be an honour for the state and a source of encouragement for the people of Karnataka.
Stating that an air show would add elegance and grandeur to the Dasara festivities and add a sense of pride among the visitors to the program in Mysuru, the CM said that Singh’s presence too would add to the people’s admiration for the Armed Forces.
