Mysuru: Rich tributes were paid in city to former Union Minister H.N. Ananth Kumar who passed away recently. A “Nudi Namana” programme “Ananth Kumarji Amar Rahe” was organised last evening at Sarada Vilas Centenary Hall where speakers hailed the late leader’s contribution to the growth of Karnataka and Mysuru in particular.
Noted Kannada novelist and Padma Shri awardee S.L. Bhyrappa said that Ananth Kumar never desired publicity and used to do his work far from public limelight. Ananth Kumar had carved a niche for himself in politics and he worked hard to strengthen BJP in Karnataka, particularly in Bengaluru and surrounding areas. He said that Ananth Kumar was very popular, dynamic leader of the poor and downtrodden.
