Clockwise: Dr Veerendra Heggade, Ilaiyaraaja, P T Usha and Vijayendra Prasad Garu

“Shri Veerendra Heggade Ji is at the forefront of outstanding community service. I have had the opportunity to pray at the Dharmasthala Temple and also witness the great work he is doing in health, education and culture. He will certainly enrich Parliamentary proceedings.

“The creative genius of @ilaiyaraaja Ji has enthralled people across generations. His works beautifully reflect many emotions. What is equally inspiring is his life journey- he rose from a humble background and achieved so much. Glad that he has been nominated to the Rajya Sabha.

“The remarkable PT Usha Ji is an inspiration for every Indian. Her accomplishments in sports are widely known but equally commendable is her work to mentor budding athletes over the last several years. Congratulations to her on being nominated to the Rajya Sabha,” tweeted the PM.

    These are only timepass MP's in Parliament like Sachin Tendulkar, Rekha and etc. Surprising if they ever question during question hour of parliament. Eating tax payers money. Hope Dr. Veerendra Heggade makes DK a tourist hub not only for devotees, but a holistic improvement of tourism.

    RS, legislative council, governors, president are all useless posts where the nominated members just pass time.. most of them especially celebrities like tendulkar, hema malini attend only three or four days in a year....simply expenditure to the exchequer..but as winston churchill said the rascals will tax air and water also when india was given independence...everything is moving in that direction rapidly after the arrival of the nagpur gang at centre.
