Bengaluru: The dead body of SL Dharmegowda, Deputy Speaker of Legislative Council was found on a railway track near Kadur in Chikkamagaluru. A suicide note has been recovered.
Dharmegowda had left his home last night and his family was worried about his whereabouts. The development comes as a shocker to the Janata Dal (Secular).
“It is shocking to learn the news of Deputy Speaker of the State Legislative Council and JDS leader SL Dharmegowda’s suicide. He was a calm and decent man. This is a loss of the state,” HD Deve Gowda, former PM and JD(S) leader said.
The development comes just days after the Karnataka Council witnessed a high-Octane drama that saw Dharmegowda being heckled by Congress MLCs.
JD(S) leader and former chief minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy said that the party has lost an ‘impeccable’ politician. “The news of the suicide of senior party leader and of my brother SL Dharmega Gowda, came as a shock.
We lost a politician of impeccable personality. May the Lord have mercy on the family and fans of Dharmagowda,” Kumaraswamy said in a tweet. Death note found and further investigation going on.
