Sir, This is the condition of the Government PU College, Vontikoppal, Mysuru.

Sir, Mysuru mourns the loss of ex-MLA Vasu, a politician known for his down-to-earth demeanour and compassion. My first encounter with him was during his tenure as the Mayor of Mysuru City Corporation, regarding a public interest issue in Gokulam 3rd Stage. Despite being surrounded by admirers, he graciously afforded me a patient audience and…

Sir, We hear the news that Prathap Simha, the sitting MP, will not get a ticket and there is definitely disappointment among many BJP voters of Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha (LS) Constituency.

Sir, Our beloved leader Vasu has departed from us. When I last saw him recently, I was struck speechless by his condition. I couldn’t help but wonder if this would be our final encounter, though I resisted entertaining such forebodings. Yet, can we escape fate? He was truly a leader of the people — accessible…
