Mysuru: Student movements, which played a vital role in shaping future leaders, were suppressed by former Chief Minister late Ramakrishna Hegde, said MLC A.H. Vishwanath.
Speaking at a condolence meeting of Kannada activist M.N. Gopalakrishna, organised by the Kannada Cheluvaligarara Sangha at Patrakarthara Bhavan yesterday, Vishwanath highlighted how various political and social leaders emerged from Dalit, student and farmer movements over the past decades. He noted that these movements were instrumental in the downfall of the R. Gundu Rao-led Congress Government in Karnataka.
