Mandya: Even as the State Government on Wednesday announced the Kannada Rajyotsava Award-2024, a couple of Congress leaders of Mandya district have appealed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Kannada & Culture Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi to honour former Karnataka Chief Minister S.M. Krishna with the prestigious ‘Karnataka Ratna’ Award, at a time when Mandya, the native district of the veteran leader, is hosting the Akhila Bharata Kannada Sahitya Sammelana next month.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister and the Kannada & Culture Minister, Congress MLC Dinesh Gooligowda and Guarantee Schemes Implementation Authority Vice-Chairman Venkataramanegowda (Star Chandru), said that Krishna is a veteran politician who had served in various posts.
