    Bangarappa & his wife were a different breed of politicians. You will rarely see such persons. People come from Soraba would stay in their house. Bangarapp's wife would serve all of them break fast on her own. Bangarappa come after his morning routine & would meet them personally. He hugs them as if they r his family members. N o even Shakuntala such royal condolences. . Only wish their family is united henceforth. Life is short.

    my her should rest in peace..
    we live once ...and we just lead our lives nothing in our hands...
    from dust we come and to dust we go back..
    leave behind a legacy and not take no wealth with us.
    serve the people ...love the people..serve the nation..
