Bangalore, Jul 31: In his final public address as chief minister of Karnataka, B S Yeddyurappa, who is going to be 'former' on Sunday after 2.30 pm, was all emotional while participating in a Balija community function at Palace Grounds here. He said that "Power, wealth, money are not at all permanent in life, but people's love is everything and it is permanent."
On Sunday morning, the Balija community organised a public function to felicitate B S Yeddyurappa for his support to the community. Coming out from his house after five days, though he appeared to be relaxed, he could not hold back his emotions while addressing the gathering. He did not criticise anyone, but boasted of his achievements during the last three years.
"I am a very common person, started my political career as a municipal member in Shikaripura around 40 years back. But my fight for social justice, working for the poor, bringing revolution in the education sector etc made me chief minister of this state. I never dreamt that I would become the CM of Karnataka, but my hard work and love and support of the people brought me here."
"I have enormous satisfaction in my tenure as the chief minister. The economy of the state is best in the country, there has been a revolution in education, and I have maintained communal harmony. I am grateful to the people who gave me this opportunity to render my services as the CM."
"Due to various protocols I have been restricted from meeting people and attending functions, but from tomorrow I am a free bird. I will work as a common BJP worker, and strengthen my party after travelling across the state," he said.
