Editor-in-Chief recalls...
In 1967, I was in Bombay working as a journalist when the corruption of the Congress party was on the rise and anti-Congress sentiments had already set in. George Fernandes stood against Congress strongman S.K. Patil from South Bombay Constituency in the 1967 Parliamentary elections and we worked for George. I, along with a large number of Kannada-speaking people in the Prarthana Samaj area went door-to-door canvassing for George Fernandes. We also took our Marathi colleagues to canvass in Maharashtrian homes as we could not speak Marathi. In the end, George defeated S.K. Patil. Our hard work had paid off.
