Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman election
Hariprasad files papers as candidate from UPA
Strong leader from backward classes
Bengaluru, August 08: A strong leader from backward classes and voice of communal harmony and senior Congress leader BK Hariprasad filed his nomination papers for the post of Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman post as UPA candidate.
Hariprasad was born on July 29, 1954 for A Kempaiah and K Gunavati in Bengaluru. He has completed his primary, higher and PU education in MES School at Malleshwaram. Later, he has done his graduation in Sheshadripuram College and law graduation from Renukacharya Law College.
He has identified himself as a student leader and joined the Congress when D Devaraj Urs was the chief minister in 1977. From the position of party worker, Hariprasad has reached the position of the highest leader in the party. He has entered the politics through NSUI and worked as its president. He has served in NSUI, Youth Congress and Seva Dal before becoming the most influential leader in Congress.
Always ready for fight
He had made futile attempts two times as MLA candidate from Gandhi Nagar constituency in 1983 and Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency in 1989. In 1980, Gundu Rao had said that ‘journalists should be thrown into Arabian Sea’. Against this, the newspapers had published reports very strongly. Against this, Youth Congress workers led by Hariprasad locked the offices of the newspapers, burnt the newspapers and started a big campaign. Because of this reason, Hariprasad did not get any position in the party till 1987.
Currently, being the AICC general secretary, Hariprasad was appointed as party incharge for Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh states assembly elections.
Voice against communalism
Being a strong voice of the backward classes, Hariprasad is also responding to the communal harmony. It is not an exaggeration that he is the leader of rationality to disclose the conspiracies of fundamentalists, communal RSS and Sangh Parivar and other organizations in a logical manner. A 64-year-old Hariprasad was elected as the Rajya Sabha Member from the state four times. Now, he has filed his papers for Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman post, for which the election would be held on August 09.
