OccupationPolitician

Venkataiah Srinivas Prasad (6 August 1947 – 29 April 2024) was an Indian politician from the state of Karnataka, who was recognised as an important Dalit leader in the old Mysore region.[4] He served as a union minister between 1999 and 2004 as part of the Third Vajpayee ministry, and later as Minister of Revenue in the Government of Karnataka between 2013 and 2016. Prasad was elected to the Lok Sabha from Chamarajanagar six times starting 1980. His last win came from the same constituency in 2019, before he announced his retirement from electoral politics in 2021.[5]

Early life

Prasad was born on 6 August 1947 into a dalit family of M. Venkataiah and D. V. Puttamma in Ashokapuram, Mysore.[6] Prasad was a volunteer of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh from childhood until 1972 and was active in the Jan Sangh and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad.[7] Prasad was raised in Mysore where he also completed his education. He obtained a bachelor of Science degree from Sarada Vilas College and a master's degree in political science from the University of Mysore.[8]

Career

Prasad entered electoral politics in 1974, in the by-election to Krishnaraja segment as an independent, to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly.[7] He joined the Janata Party in 1976 and the Indian National Congress (INC) in 1979.[9] Prasad then had a stint with the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) and Samata Party.[9] He rejoined the INC before quitting it again in 1996, after being denied a ticket to contest the 1996 general election to the Lok Sabha.[1] In the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led union government between 1999 and 2004, Prasad served as the Minister of State for Food and Consumer Affairs. During this time, he was a member of the Samata Party, which was part of the National Democratic Alliance.[10] In 2003, Prasad's name propped in the Tehelka tapes controversy; tapes showed another Samata Party leader Jaya Jaitley allegedly telling an arms dealer to deposit the money with Prasad who was then in Bangalore. Prasad denied his involvement and stated that he was in Mysore during that time and that he "had filed a suit and the news portal later made it clear that they were mistaken."[1]

In 2004, Prasad then returned to Karnataka State politics. He first had a short stint with Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)), joining the party, after quitting his position as union minister and as member of Samata Party, in March. He ruled out contesting the general election to the Lok Sabha that year and stated that his aim was to oust the "corrupt" INC government in Karnataka and help JD(S) form the next government in the State.[11] Two years later, Prasad re-joined the INC.[12] He was elected member of the legislative assembly of Karnataka from Nanjangud in 2013. Between 2013 and 2016, he served as Minister for Revenue & Muzrai in the Siddaramaiah-led government.[13][14][15][16] He then changed his party again and officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a party he had quit in 2005,[17] in January 2017.[18] This necessitated a by-poll in Nanjangud which he lost to the INC candidate. He was then appointed the vice-president of the State unit of the BJP.[19]

Prasad contested Chamarajanagar in nine elections to the Lok Sabha and won on six occasions. In the Karnataka legislative assembly elections, he won from Nanjangud twice.[12] He fought a total of 14 elections and won eight.[20]

Personal life and death

Prasad was married to Bhagyalakshmi and had three daughters with her: Prathima, Poornima and Poonam.[4] Prasad had converted to Buddhism.[21]

Citing poor health, Prasad announced his retirement from politics again in March 2024, after 50 years of active politics.[22] However, extended support to the INC and a few of his relatives joined the party in April, ahead of the general election.[4] In the same month, he was admitted to a hospital in Bengaluru, and was being treated for respiratory and other ailments.[23] He died on 29 April at the age of 76.[7] The last rites were performed with full state honors the following day, and as per Buddhist rituals in Mysore.[23]

The Chief Minister of Karnataka and Prasad's former colleague, Siddaramaiah, condoled his death and stated: "The departure of the leader who lived the struggle against injustice and inequality is a big setback for the political struggle for social justice in the state." Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated: "He was a champion of social justice, having devoted his life to the welfare of the poor, downtrodden and marginalised. He was very popular for his various works of community service."[24] As a mark of respect, the government of Karnataka declared a one-day holiday in the districts of Mysore and Chamarajanagar.[25]
