Bengaluru: Thousands of people from all walks of life, politicians cutting across party lines and party workers paid their last respects to the departed Union Minister H.N. Ananth Kumar during his last journey at Bengaluru this afternoon.
The 59-year-old Minister, who was ailing from cancer, died in the wee hours of Monday at a private hospital here. Ananth Kumar's body was brought to the BJP State Unit Office in Malleshwaram from his residence ‘Sumeru’ at Basavanagudi on a flower-bedecked military vehicle at around 9 am. The cortege carrying the glass casket was draped in the national flag.
