Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday hailed the contribution of Mysuru kings and the Urs community towards building a secular and irreligious Karnataka with a focus on human development.
Speaking at the golden jubilee of the Urs Association in Bengaluru, Mr. Shivakumar said: “The Urs community may be small in size, but its contribution to the State is immense. The Wadiyar family has contributed greatly to the State. The iconic KRS, the Vani Vilas Sagar dam, the Victoria Hospital are just some of the cornerstones they laid for a progressive Karnataka. We are all enjoying the fruits of their vision and effort.”
