Bengaluru, June 8 (PTI) Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Monday met former CMs Veerappa Moily, Jagadish Shettar and D V Sadananda Gowda at their residences and sought their guidance and support in the interest of the state.
Earlier, Shivakumar had met former CMs Siddaramaiah, B S Yediyurappa and H D Deve Gowda — who was also a former Prime Minister– as he assumed charge as chief minister on June 3.
Speaking to reporters, Shivakumar said, “I will meet all former CMs. I will also meet Basavaraj Bommai. If H D Kumaraswamy (now union minister) gives time, I will meet him. I will seek their guidance and experience. They have all served the state. I will give them the respect they deserve”.
