    Mr. Sanjeevanath is the one of the honest politician of this era. I had many occasions to discuss the political issue. His 1st son was my classmate during the days of Vijaya College. I had been to his house during those days and his son is also is very soft spoken and now he is a professor of sociology. Whenever I happened to Mulki town, his son comes to meet me. Very decent family. He lost his wife long back. I pray his soul be rest in peace.
