Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Karnataka’s culture, language, and people on Wednesday, citing the power of a “double engine” government as one of the reasons for the state’s rapid growth in several sectors. The Prime Minister’s emphasis on “double engine” government (the same party in government at both the State and the Centre) while delivering the inaugural address via video conferencing at the three-day Global Investors’ Meet, ‘Invest Karnataka 2022,’ gains significance as the State goes to polls in about five months.
“Karnataka has the power of a double engine, with the same party (BJP) in power at both the state and federal levels. That is one of the reasons why the state is growing rapidly in several areas and ranks first in ease of doing business and FDI inflows “Modi stated.
