Newly appointed Rural Development and Panchayat Raj minister Eshwar B Khandre has said that it was his dream to transform Bidar district, which he described as having remained backward for centuries, into a region on par with Bengaluru and Mysuru in terms of development.
Addressing people from Bidar who met him in Bengaluru to congratulate him on his induction into the Cabinet, Khandre said the district, known as the land of Basava and the Sharanas, deserved much greater progress in the fields of industry, education, and social
development.
"Bidar has remained severely backward despite its rich legacy. My dream is to see it develop on the lines of Bengaluru and Mysuru, and I will work beyond my capacity to achieve that goal," he assured. Khandre said the affection and trust reposed in him by the people of Bidar had played a key role in his political journey and that their blessings had enabled him to serve as a minister for the third time.
He thanked the people of the state, the Chief Minister, and the Congress leadership for giving him the opportunity.
