Mangalore, December 27: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of Janata Dal (Secular) on Tuesday organised a condolence meet to mourn the demise of former Karnataka chief minister S Bangarappa.
Around three dozens of JD(S) workers had taken part in the meet held at the party office in the city to pay their tributes to the mass leader, who had been an indivisible part of JD(S) during the last days of his prolonged political career.
Speaking on the occasion, JDS district president M B Sadashiva said Bangarappa always trusted his followers, who in turn never let him alone.
The efforts of multi-talented politician in the development of the backward classes and minorities were appreciable, he said.
Mr Sadashiva also said that people in his party have had rich experiences and he used to allow the supporters to solve their own problems without interfering much. He was also a good sportsman. And above all he was a good human being too, he said.
He also expressed hope that Bangarappa's son Madhu Bangarappa, who is the current state general secretary of JD(S), would follow the footsteps of his father. “He has acquired the friendly quality of his father,” he pointed out.
Local JD(S) leaders Vasanth Poojary and Rafiq also expressed their feelings about late leader, who was laid to rest at his home town in Shimoga.
