www.mangaloretoday.com

k S BhagwanMysuru, May 16, 2016: In what appears to be an interesting electoral battle in the making, rationalist Prof K.S.Bhagwan is contesting election to the Legislative Council from South Graduates’ constituency, as an independent. He will be filing his nomination on May 16, for the election scheduled to be held on June 9.

Announcing this to the media on Sunday here, Bhagwan said: “I have been practicing the principles of Buddha, Basava and Ambedkar throughout my life in the last 40 years. I appeal to the voters to support me.”

Shantaraju, president of the Dalit Welfare Society, said: “When the Upper House of the state legislature is considered a perfect forum for thinkers, of late, real estate developers, industrialists and businessmen were becoming its members, thereby spoiling its sanctity.”

Several organisations like the Federation of Dalit Organisations, Federation of Progressive Dalit Organisations, Kannada Sene and Buddha, Basava and Ambedkar Balaga have extended their support to Bhagwan.
