After a protracted illness, prominent politician and former Karnataka chief minister SM Krishna passed away early on Tuesday in Bengaluru. He was ninety-two. Initial reports state that SM Krishna, who was admitted to the hospital in October, passed away at home.
We are deeply grieved by the passing of former Karnataka Chief Minister Shri S.M. Krishna, whose leadership and public service legacy will always be remembered in our state and country.
