Late Kandkur’s public service remembered

Seer praises late MLA Naganagouda Kandkur's dedication to public service, urges son to continue his legacy.

Seer of Siddaganga Mutt of Tumakuru Sri Siddalinga Swami has said that the former MLA late Naganagouda Kandkur fought for the people and faced many difficulties throughout his political career.

Inaugurating a ceremony to mark the first death anniversary of the late leader at Kandkur village in Gurmitkal taluk of Yadgir district on Tuesday, he said that it is difficult to find politicians with values these days. However, Mr. Kandkur was an exception, he said.

“The political loyalty of Naganagouda Kandkur was unparalleled. He was associated with the Janata Dal(S) for several decades. He continued his public service without any compromise, even though many cases were registered against him. I only appeal to his son and MLA Sharanagouda Kandkur to continue his late father’s legacy of public service and develop the constituency, especially in the agriculture sector,” the seer said.

Making the introductory remarks, Sharanagouda Kandkur said that his late father earned nothing except the love and affection of the people of the constituency and promised to tread on the path shown by his father.

Seers of various mutts addressed and extolled the public service of Naganagouda Kandkur.

A blood donation camp was organised in which 1,300 people donated blood voluntarily. As many as 16,000 plates and glasses were distributed among students of government-run schools covered under the mid-day meal scheme.
