Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore

Bangalore, Apr 23: JD(S) state president A Krishnappa passed away here on Wednesday April 23 after suffering a cardiac arrest. He was 65.

Krishnappa was rushed to a hospital in K R Puram after he suffered a cardiac arrest. However, he failed to respond to treatment.

He was the JD(S) candidate from Tumkur in this Lok Sabha elections.








A former minister and leader of backward classes, Krishnappa was appointed state JD(S) president in September 2013 after H D Kumaraswamy stepped down.

Krishnappa, who hailed from Hiriyur taluk of Chitradurga, was with Congress for nearly three decades before joining the JD(S) prior to the 2013 Assembly elections.

Krishnappa started his political career in 1985 as MLA of Varthur. He represented the constituency for four terms and served as minister for horticulture, animal husbandry, sugar and social welfare.

    JDS was sure of winning this Seat, but death of Krishnappa is a big blow to Kumaraswamy & Co.
    May Krishnappa's soul rest in peace.

    Jossey,

    In Tumkur parliamentary constituency out of 8 assembly section, 4 are with JDS...and BJP candidate is former KJP guy and Yeddy's buddy...tried to go to CONgress and refused entry there and came back to BJP like "Ingu tinda manga few weeks back...his name is Basavaraj...

    So there is 40-50% chances A ?Krishnappa winning this seat and becoming a Dead MP on May 17th like late Rajiv Ghandi...I am sure he will keep a seat for HDD in Paradise...since both are buddies...

    ...JH...
