Shri. B.S. Yediyurappa explained: “The Forest Department is already preparing 2 crore saplings for distribution. They can be used for this movement. I have already instructed the Forest Department to ready crores of saplings to fulfil Sadhguru’s wishes and stop the destruction of forests and increase green cover so that Mother Cauvery flows again. In order for this movement to succeed, the state government of Karnataka will support it fully in every possible way because we consider it our duty to do so. May Cauvery flow in full glory again. May the bond between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu be strengthened with Sadhguru’s blessings. It is the fortune of this land that after Sadhguru stepped in here, all our water bodies have filled to the brim and are flowing in full glory, something we have not seen for several years in Karnataka. This is our good fortune. When I met PM Modi, I brought up the subject of drought in Karnataka but today, all water bodies have filled and are overflowing which is a great relief for our farmers. May they continue to fill and flow.”

Under your leadership, we will fulfil all your expectations and enable the planting of crores of trees in the river basin. We consider this our duty,” he added to thunderous applause from the audience.
