“On Thursday, he (Puneeth Rajkumar) requested that I create a Karnataka tourism website. On November 1st, I would have launched his app, but he is not available. It’s quite awe-inspiring. The state, the cinema, and the youth will all miss him “As stated by Basavaraj Bommai.
Chief Minister Bommai previously stated that Puneeth Rajkumar’s final rites would be conducted with state honours.
