Dharamshala: The President of Central Tibetan Administration, Dr. Lobsang Sangay today congratulated B.S. Yediyurappa on his re-election as the Chief Minister of Karnataka state.

“I on behalf of Tibetan people heartily congratulate you on once again becoming the Chief Minister of Karnataka state. I wish you all the success in your responsibility as the chief minister and hope that you will be able to fulfill all your promises to the people without obstacles,” he said.

“Karnataka has the largest number of Tibetans in India and has major monasteries which have provided space and liberty for the Tibetan people to resettle, receive education and preserve the culture and practice religion without fear or prejudice,” he said.

“Since Tibetans settled in Karnataka, the love and generosity bestowed by the people and government of Karnataka have stood the test of time and endured through thick and thin. For that reason, the Tibetan people remain deeply indebted to the people and government of the state,” he wrote.

“I hope that under your leadership, this bond of friendship and affinity that exists between our two peoples will be strengthened even further,” he added.

CM B.S. Yediyurappa was sworn in as the chief minister of Karnataka on 26 July.
