Arathi Krishna, Deputy Chairperson of NRI Forum of Karnataka government, who has been associated with non-resident Indians and persons of Indian origin for several years, is now considering to tread the path of her father by entering the state politics.

In a candid chat with coastaldigest.com during her visit to Jubail in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, Ms Krishna said that she’s ready to contest the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls if the high command and chief minister want her to enter the poll fray.

Daughter of Begane Ramaiah, a veteran Congress leader and former rural development minister, an ever-smiling Ms Krishna considers former prime minister Indira Gandhi, whom she had met at the age of 10, as her role model.

Though she spent several years abroad, Ms Krishna is emotionally attached to her parental hometowns – her father Ramaiah hailed from Begane near Sringeri in Chikkamagaluru while her mother Seetha hailed from Kadthur in Shivamogga.

Ms Krishna holds a master degree in ‘political science’ from Mysore University, another master degree in ‘international commerce and public’ from George Mason University, Washington, and an honorary doctorate from Kuvempu University.

Earlier she worked as a Community Development Officer in the Indian Embassy in Washington DC, and as an Adviser in the India Development Foundation, Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs. She also has set up an NGO ‘Krishna Foundation’ to partake in socio-economic needs and provide improved educational facilities in remote villages of Karnataka.

Since i know her personally, i can say that she's a very focused and hardworking woman whom we rarely would come across, let alone any politician. She does not need to play any gimmicks to win a ticket, in her present portfolio. If she agree to contest, that would be a blessing for the people of Karnataka. We wish her all the best and like to see more achievements on her way.. 

 

It’s not good to call it political gimmick. There is nothing connection between Saudi visit and assembly ticket. To get ticket she has to lobby staying back in Bangaluru. We must appreciate her visiting labour camps in Saudi Arabia.

All this gimmicks from her is just to catch up an assembly ticket. Karnataka Govt has done nothing to address neither the problems of Gulf Kannadiga’s nor a single word in this year’s budget about NRI’S. Just a NRI forum, which is toothless and only achievement of this forum is creating a dysfunctional website .Now as the election is nearing up she just woke up and requesting NRI'S to register with that dysfunctional website! Disguisting, taking poor Gulf Kannadigas for a ride.
