Veerashaiva-Lingayat Mahasabha appeals for Karnataka Ratna for Bheemanna Khandre
The Shivamogga unit of the Veerashaiva-Lingayat Mahasabha has proposed that the posthumous Karnataka Ratna award be granted to Bheemanna Khandre. This proposal was moved by district president Rudramuni N. Sajjan at a recent program. Khandre is noted for his prominent role in the Kalyana Karnataka region, involvement in the freedom struggle and the movement for state unification, and his political career which included serving as a Minister.
He also contributed to institution-building, serving as president of the Akhila Bharata Veerashaiva Mahasabha. Khandre passed away on January 16 this year.
