He noted that International Yoga Day's worldwide celebration demonstrates the global recognition of India's yoga heritage.

Accuses Congress of fostering corruption
Pralhad Joshi, speaking in Pattadakal, directly accused the Congress of establishing and fostering corruption.
Following the disclosure of the Housing Corporation corruption audio, Rayareddy acknowledged substantial corruption during Congress administration, leading to the audio's subsequent release.
He further said the North Karnataka legislators highlighted the absence of development funds while pointing out widespread corruption. The audio emerged yesterday. The BJP's statements are consistently dismissed by opponents claiming the party lacks accomplishments.
The response from the chief minister remains anticipated, particularly given his statements about monetary requirements for housing allocation.
A Congress legislator has brought attention to an ongoing transfer scandal, whilst contractors have labelled it a 60% govt. The UPA govt, under Sonia Gandhi's leadership, faced corruption allegations totalling Rs 12 lakh crore. There appears to be uncertainty in accountability, with neither senior nor junior officials being questioned about corruption.
"With Sonia and Rahul being out on bail, there remains no authority to question them. Consequently, the Congress party's statements lack credibility and attention from the public," the Union minister accused.
