Congrats. Good move by KPCC. NRIs expect more from Congress and the Karnataka govt in days to come. The absence of Congress activities among NRIs had helped the growth of communal oufits like SDPI.

Congratulations ma’am. Nice to know the Congress party has finally considered NRIs seriously. NRIs are expecting a lot from the Karnataka government
