Bengaluru: Union minister Ananth Kumar passes away at 59


Bengaluru, Nov 12 (IANS): Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar died on Monday at a private hospital here due to multi-organ failure, a party spokesman said. He was 59.

"Kumar passed away at around 3 a.m. at Shankara Cancer Hospital in the city's southern suburb due to multi-organ failure three weeks after he was admitted on return from the US on October 21," party's spokesman S. Shantaram told IANS.

The Minister is survived by his widow Tejaswani and two daughters Aishwaraya and Vijayeta.

Kumar, who represented the Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency since 1996, had undergone treatment for cancer in the UK and US since August.

"Kumar first went to London after the monsoon session of Parliament in July-August for treatment and was shifted to another hospital in the US. The cancer spread to other parts of the body, resulting in multi-organ failure," added Shantaram.

    yesterday I saw kannada news channels & every channel described his contribution to this nation & especially Karnataka state. we are unaware of lot many things which he does for the benefit of poor people & citizen of this country. I was really surprised, even opposition party leaders Siddaramayya, H D Kumaraswamy described his contribution to the state & his importance in the central level. they told that he was the link between state & central govt. I was really unaware of these things & his contribution. we lost one of the best politician,

    These are your words to Mr Anil MP.. right? - "...Either you don't know what's RSS or you don't deserve to know....." Well let me tell you this - It is not Anil MP who does not know what RSS is. It is you who does not know.

    So let me tell you what RSS is.
    RSS assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. Where you born to say RIP to Mahatma Gandhi's soul then?
    RSS is a sangha which also spits venom against Christians and Christianity.
    RSS was spiteful of Mahatma Gandhi because at one point of time Mahatma hailed Jesus' name.
    RSS/BJP guys raped and murdered little Asifa. Did you say RIP to the soul of that little angel?

    But I will say... RIP to the departed soul of Sri Anant Kumar.
