New Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday and held talks for nearly an hour.
Mr. Bommai, who is on his first visit to Delhi after becoming the chief minister, met PM Modi at his residence.
After the meet, PM Modi in a tweet said, “Met CM of Karnataka Shri @BSBommai ji today. Conveyed best wishes as he begins a new journey for Karnataka’s progress. Assured full support for the development of Karnataka.”
Mr Bommai met with Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, and Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat earlier in the day.
At Hotel Ashoka, he also held a lunch for state legislators.
Following BS Yediyurappa’s resignation, Mr. Bommai was chosen as the new head of the BJP parliamentary party on Tuesday and assumed office as chief minister on Wednesday.
