Mangaluru, Jan 26, 2024: Every citizen of this land must respect the basic tenets of the Constitution including Secularism and Freedom of Expression and uphold the honour and sovereignty of the nation. It is only then that Rama Rajya can be a reality in the true sense as envisioned by Mahatma Gandhiji, said District in-charge Minister Dinesh Gundurao.





He was speaking after hoisting the national tri-colour during the 75th Republic Day celebrations held at Nehru Maidan on Friday under the aegis of the District Administration.
A people-friendly administration is the basic principle of Rama Rajya, he said adding the Congress government has kept its words by implementing all five guarantees within seven months of coming to power.
