Mysuru: Invoking the name of Engineer-Statesman Sir M. Visvesvaraya (MV), who was the first architect of modern India and strongly believed in skill India and a developed country, Union Minister of State for Energy, Coal, New and Renewable Energy and Mines (with Independent Charge), Piyush Goyal, instantly connected with the intellectuals of the city.
He was addressing the intellectuals as part of his Party’s (BJP) outreach programme in an interaction session at the VK Function Hall in Nazarabad here yesterday. He began his talk by saying, “I am a little jealous of all of you because you are living in such a pristine, clean city like Mysuru. I am 53 now and I wonder why I never came to this city before. But when I was 17, I had started a small scale unit and then I had thought about Visvesvaraya who brought India to the world map.”
