By Our Special Correspondent

BANGALORE MAY 3. The Governor, T. N. Chaturvedi, has extended his greetings to the people of the State on the occasion of Basava Jayanti tomorrow.

In a message, he said Lord Basaveshwara was one of our foremost religious reformers and social revolutionaries who heralded a social change in medieval India. ``Let his teachings inspire us to rise above narrow loyalties and parochial interests so as to usher in a social order of enduring amity, justice, and fellowship,'' the Governor said.

The Chief Minister, S.M. Krishna, has greeted the people on the occasion of Basava Jayanti. ``Let the celebration of Basava Jayanti inspire one and all to practise, all the time, relevant principles preached by the sharanas led by Basavanna,'' the Chief Minister said in a message.

The Home Minister, Mallikarjun Kharge, and the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, Jagadish Shettar, have extended Basava Jayanti greetings to the people.
