Udupi, August 3: Though DV Sadananda Gowda is a member of parliament representing Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency, his connections here were very little and he was considered more a Puttur man by the people of Udupi.

Prior to his election as the MP, though he had occupied a rented house in Udupi, he or his family had hardly been to that house. Within a few months, Gowda had even vacated that house and saved the rent.

But, three years, from 1971-74, during his study of law at Vaikunta Baliga College of Law (previously Udupi Law College) had marked deep impressions among his fellow students.

Gowda's classmate Ramachandra, an advocate and former Udupi Taluk Panchayath member, expressing his happiness over the election of Sadananda Gowda to the post of Chief Minister recalled: “He had a personality which could not be hated by anybody. He was a very good boy and had inculcated leadership qualities since his college days. Then also he was not an aggressive leader and was always smiling”. Gowda had also served as the General Secretary of Students' Union of the Law College.

Bhaskar Bhandary, an advocate, who was Gowda's junior at the law college said: “He was the smallest boy in their class and I am now proud that he reached the highest position in the state”

Bengaluru, Jan 28: The state government is set to allow investors who bought farmland for industrial and other purposes to sell it off if they fail to use it within seven years. The new buyers, however, must utilise the land parcel for the same purpose for which it was allotted.

An amendment bill in this regard will be tabled during the joint session of the assembly, which begins on February 17.

Currently, investors remain tied to unused parcels. Law and parliamentary affairs minister JC Madhuswamy said the amendment to Section 109 of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, which deals with the purchase of farmland for non-agricultural purposes, would remove hurdles for disposal of such plots. “To prevent misuse of land, the bill makes it mandatory for the new buyer to utilise it for the purpose for which the land was purchased by the first investor,” he said.

The government will also table a bill which seeks to regulate the affairs of religious and educational trusts. It will empower the government to intervene in the affairs of the trusts when irregularities come to light.

“Currently, the government has no role to play when allegations of irregularities and mismanagement crop up against trustees. The bill seeks to address this,” Madhuswamy said. He clarified the government didn’t want to interfere in trusts’ affairs. But some issues, he added, were of concern: trustees illegally selling off the trust property.
