What did PM Modi tell about Governor Sudha Yadav while praising her?
Prime Minister Modi said, this is the first time that I have got the opportunity to share the stage with Karnataka Governor Sudha Yadav ji. The people of Karnataka may not be fully aware of his background yet, but I would like to highlight his life as an example that shows what the true meaning of national service and dedication to the country is. We can learn these values from the life of Sudha ji and her family. During the Kargil war, her husband was martyred. Despite suffering such a huge loss, he continued to serve the nation. Today, from the soil of Karnataka, she is contributing to the happiness, peace and prosperity of the people of the state. I convey my heartiest wishes to Sudha ji.
