Puttur, October 21: Union Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda who entered into political field from Puttur constituency and enjoyed various powers as MLA, MP, Chief Minister and Union Minister, has sold his house situated at Padil, on the outskirts of the town.
Sources said that D.V. has sold his house which ensured him all positions and powers. Though Sadananda Gowda served as the MLA, Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha Member, BJP State President, Chief Minister and currently as the Union Minister, he remained as the voter of Puttur. Now, the news of selling his house in Puttur created a debate among the people who have been speaking that Sadananda Gowda has forgotten his constituency and people.
D.V. has his house at Haradi on Puttur-Uppinangady road in Padil ward in the town. He named his house after his mother Kamala. Since the symbol of his party BJP was also ‘Kamala’, he used to remember his mother and the party with the name of his house. He had constructed the house when he became the MLA for the second time. Now, sources said that Sadananda has sold the house constructed on 13 cents land to a Muslim person for Rs 1.25 crore. Currently, he is constructing a house in Bengaluru, sources said.
Hailed from Devaragunda in Mandekolu village in Sullia taluk, Sadananda Gowda was working as an advocate in Sullia. At this time, BJP leaders announced him as the candidate from Puttur constituency. He was defeated in his first attempt from Puttur constituency. But in his second, he had won from Puttur. He became the Puttur MLA for two terms. When he was Mangaluru MP, he became the BJP State President and later, served as the Chief Minister of the state. In the last Lok Sabha elections, he was elected from Bengaluru South Constituency and is serving as the Union Minister in the Narendra Modi government.
Though he had entered his political career from Puttur constituency, he was keeping himself away from Puttur people for the last few years. In every elections, he used to come along with his wife Dati Sadananda Gowda and son Karthik to Haradi polling station and cast his votes. But in the least election held for Puttur city municipal council, he came alone and exercised his vote. Since he has sold his house in Puttur, people have been talking that he would keep himself away from Puttur constituency and people.
