PREFACE

While some liberated countries have succumbed to the scourge of

military dictatorship or the tyranny of one Party Rule, India, on the other

hand, has maintained an unbroken democratic tradition by holding 15

general elections (and scores of State and local body elections). The Indian

Constitution which came into force on 26th January 1950 provided for direct

election to Lok Sabha (and State Legislative Assemblies) on the basis of

universal adult franchise. Under the provision of Article 379 of the

Constitution, the Constituent Assembly (Legislative) became the Provisional

Parliament of India. In order to hold elections, the then Government,

headed by Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, set up an Election Commission; two major

statutes v.i.z the Representation of the People Act, 1950 and that of 1951

were passed by the Parliament.

Elected by the largest electorate in the world, India’s Parliament

reflects the hopes and aspirations of millions of its citizens. In the last sixty

years, it has grown from 370 million to 1.2 billion people today. The

composition and functioning of each Lok Sabha or the House of the People

have reflected the societal structures, stresses, urges, aspirations and

frustrations of the people. Legislation is adopted as the chief instrument of

socio-economic engineering. The cardinal functions of the Parliament are

legislation, overseeing of administration, passing of Budget, ventilation of

public grievances, discussing matters of public importance and debating

policies of national importance. The Parliament in India, is the highest

decision-making organ; it is the focal point of political power with immense

responsibility of economic and social development of the country. It is not

merely the constitutional set up of the two Houses, the offices of the

Presiding Officers and the Secretariat, but representatives of Indian adults-

men and women above the age of 18-who participate in its deliberations.

The role of elected members of Parliament, through debates and various

devices, is vital to bring about expected changes in the socio-economic,

political and legal domain of the country.

viii

Every member of the House of the People represents not only his/her

party but more importantly the people of the constituency; by participating

in legislative activities, the members contribute to the welfare of all Indians.

Despite changes in consecutive Lok Sabha and Governments- the members

in different capacities facilitate governance; though a few contribute as

Union Ministers, yet a large number of members, besides participating in

the deliberations of the House, contribute to the functions of the Parliament

as Chairperson / Member of various Committees-permanent or adhoc.

These committees are the bodies through which MPs can interact directly

with the executive ; with due support from the Speaker they exercise their

power and perform the ‘inquisitive role' by extracting relevant information

directly from various ministries and departments, from files and records,

and by cross-examining officers, and thus the so called vocal MPs also

carryout silent and significant work. All these factors pertaining to Lok

Sabha members from Karnataka are dealt with, in brief, in the present

publication as a tribute to their valuable services to their state and the

Nation.

INTRODUCTION

The present work is an attempt to provide information about Members

of Parliament elected from Karnataka. The handy publication is intended to

fulfill the need, in compact and comprehensive form, considering the dearth

of information which is as many have felt, a pioneering attempt. The

compilation began as a mere list of Lok Sabha MPs of Karnataka from the

First Lok Sabha to the Fifteenth, which could have taken not more than one

or two months for completion. But, as the work progressed, it had to be

revised several times with additions of other related components such as,

Members elected from Reserved Constituencies and those who have been

Union Ministers. The very first list of MPs of the First Lok Sabha could be

finalized only after some kind of research; the information given in the

publication of the Lok Sabha Secretariat, the book generally consulted as an

authentic edition of Indian Parliamentary Companion- Who’s Who of

Members of Lok Sabha (First to Thirteenth Lok Sabha) could provide the

names of Members for respective Lok Sabhas only. However, subsequent to

the discussion with the officers of the Parliament Library, seperate

publications regarding each Lok Sabha were procured. The study of the

history of Karnataka, traced since 1952, i.e., the year of constitution of the

First Lok Sabha, resulted in the finding that some parts of Karnataka were

coming under the MP constituencies of the neighbouring states viz., Bombay

and Hyderabad. Thus the number of members from Karnataka listed in the

web site for the First Lok Sabha although shown 11 actually amount to 26,

if the present boundries of Reorganised Karnataka is taken into account.

The booklet delineates briefly the context, constitution and

composition of each Lok Sabha- from First to the Fifteenth. In Part II, III, IV-

lists of all the members elected from Karnataka, those elected from reserved

constituencies and Union Ministers from Karnataka are given respectively.

In Part V mention is made of those members who have made their mark in

Parliament in terms of Lok Sabhas served [1/3 of the total] and as Ministers

[1/10 of the life of Parliament so far]. In bringing out the information, every

effort is made to ensure accuracy as far as possible.

PART ONE

Lok Sabha (First to Fifteenth) Constitution and Composition –

An outline

The First Lok Sabha was duly constituted in 1952 after the First General

Elections. These elections became significant as they were educative for a newly

free country in that they were to introduce to the citizens the tenets, tools and

techniques of parliamentary democracy as also their responsibilities.

With 173 million electorate and 88 million casting vote, 489 MPs were

elected—Congress 364, Socialists 12, KMPP 9, CPI 16, BJS 3, HMS 4, RRP 3,

and State Parties 32. Never before had such a large electorate exercised franchise

anywhere in the world. The record of the legislative work of the First Lok Sabha,

1952-57, both in quality and quantity compare well with that of any Parliament

in the world. The ‘Manchester Guardian’, for example, wrote on 5 June 1954;

‘’Parliamentary institutions have not had good time in Asia….All that is

happening in Asia throws a spotlight on Parliament in Delhi as one institution of

the kind which is working in an exemplary way…Pericles said that Athens was

the school of Hellas. Mr Nehru without boasting may say that Delhi is the school

of Asia’’.

The number of bills passed in the First Lok Sabha aggregated to 322

and 42.5% of the enactments related to financial matters. Legislation to use

decimal coinage and the metric system in weights and measures put the

country far ahead of many countries and made things simpler and more

rational for the generation of children and adults that followed. Socialist

pattern of society was initiated; The Imperial Bank of India was nationalized.

Parliament passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act. Subsequently Life

Insurance business was nationalized. Welfare of Industrial workers was sought

to be promoted by passing the Employees’’ Provident Fund Act, and the

Industrial Disputes [Amendment] Act. By amending the Factory Act, Parliament

prohibited the employment of women and young person’s during night in

factories. Other important legislations transacted were those in respect of the

Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act and Indian Medical Council Act. In

the political and administrative field, by far the most important legislation

during the first Lok Sabha period was the State’s Reorganization Act.

2

The First Lok Sabha [1952-1957], though elected by universal adult

suffrage, was a highly elitist body comprising the single largest professional

group of lawyers. Union Ministers from Karnataka were.

1. Shri K.C. Reddy - Minister of the Cabinet, Minister of Production

2. Shri D.P. Karmarkar - Minister of Cabinet Rank (but not member

of Cabinet). Minister of Commerce.

3. Shri B.N. Datar - Minister of Home Affairs.

4. Shri M.V.Krishnappa - Deputy Minister of Food & Agriculture.

5. Shri R.G. Dubey - Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of

Production.

The Second Lok Sabha,[1957-1962], despite facing tough challenges both

from within and without, passed 316 Bills. During the sessions, the devices

such as ‘Question Hour’ and ‘Privilege Issue’ were highlighted. Prime Minister

Nehru remarked on the last day of the Second Lok Sabha; ‘’….on the whole we

have done fairly well….considering the state of the world today when every

other day we read about ‘coup de’tats’in various countries, it is surprising how

we have carried on in our normal way.’’

Some of the members of the Second Lok Sabha from Karnataka became

members of the Cabinet at the Centre;

1. Shri Dattatrya P Karmarkar, Minister of State in the Ministry of

Health.

2. Shri K. Chengalaraya Reddy, Minister of Works, Housing & Supply

3. Shri Balwantrao N Datar, Minister of State, Home Affairs

4. Shri M V Krishnappa, Deputy Minister of Food

5. Smt. Violet Alva - Deputy Minister of Home Affairs.

In the Third Lok Sabha [1962-1967], Karnataka was represented by 31

members, all from Congress except one as shown in part II. The new House

was duly constituted on 3 April, 1962. For the first time a regional party,

DMK, had entered in a big way and another party consisting of Maharajas, big

business interests and industrialists had also emerged. Law-making function

of the House was relegated next to that of discussion and approval of the

Budget although 275 Bills and Constitutional Amendment Acts were passed.

3

The events of greatest significance at this juncture were – Chinese aggression,

the demise of Prime Minister Nehru in 1964, the 1965 war with Pakistan, the

sudden demise of the second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and the

taking over by Smt Indira Gandhi. In the new Cabinet the members included

from Karnataka were;

1. Shri K C Reddy, Minister of Commerce and Industry [1962]

2. Shri Balwantrao N. Datar, [member of the Cabinet in 1964] Minister

of State, Home Affairs

3. Shri H C Dasappa, Minister of Industry and Supply [1966]

4. Shri C M Poonacha, Minister of State, Transport and Aviation[1966]

The Fourth Lok Sabha, with the life of 3years, 9 months and 10 days

was characterized by a split in the Congress Party and the phenomenon of

defections. Those elected were; Congress-283, Swatantra-42, Jan Sangh- 35,

SSP-23, CPI- 23, CPI [M] - 19 and PSP-13. During the IV Lok Sabha 216 laws

were enacted of which 93[43%] related to financial subjects. Constitution was

amended thrice; 12 adjournments were accepted and discussed [out of over

1000 motions and 89 brought before the House]; 7 No-Confidence motions

were tabled and 5 were admitted and discussed, and there were several privilege

cases also.

Members from Karnataka also participated in these activities majority

of whom were Congressmen[Swatantra Party-5,Independent-1, PSP-29] and

four were ministers at the Centre;

1. Dr V K R V Rao, Minister of Transport and Shipping

2. Shri C M Poonacha, Minister of Railways

3. Shri M S Gurupadaswamy, Minister of State, Dept of Atomic Energy

4. Dr Sarojini Mahishi, Deputy Minister,Commerce

When the House was dissolved prematurely on 27 December 1970 there

were changes in the party position[5 by-elections were held]; Congress [R]-

228, Congress [O]-65, Swatantra-35, Jan Sangh-33, DMK-24, CPI-24, CPM-

19, SSP-15, UIPG-25, BKD-10, Unattached-24, and vacancies-3, total including

the Speaker-523.

4

In the Fifth Lok Sabha [1971-1977] Congress Party returned to its

dominant position with more than two-thirds majority. Members from

Karnataka also were all of them from Congress. The ‘Young Turks’ group within

the Congress[R] had played an important role in the implementation of

progressive policies and programmes. Congress[O] was almost completely wiped

out on this account as also on account of the popular acclaim of the leadership

of Congress[R]; Congress[O] had lost 56 of its 65 seats, Jan Sangh 23 of its 33

and SP 28 of its 35.

About 482 legislative measures were brought to the Statute Book in

the V Lok Sabha pertaining to administrative, economic and social spheres,

of these 173 related to financial matters,[as many as 19 Constitution

Amendment Bills passed] which reflects the quality and quantity of the work

accomplished.

These members from Karnataka functioned effectively;

1. Shri K Hanumanthaiya, Minister of Railways

2. Dr Sarojini Mahishi, Minister of State, Tourism and Civil Aviation

3. Shri Fakruddin H Mohsin, Deputy Minister, Home Affairs

4. Shri B. Shankaranand, Deputy Minister, Dept of Parliamentary Affairs

A proclamation of Emergency, however, by the President issued on 25

June 1975, on grounds of threatened internal disturbance was followed by 14

hour long debate. The House adopted on 23 July the resolution approving the

same and the Fifth Lok Sabha was dissolved.

When the first session of the Sixth Lok Sabha met the members were;

Congress-154, Congress [O]-3, Janata Party[ Lok Dal]- 295, CPI-7 and CPI[M]-

22.Smaller parties represented in the House were; PAWP—5, RSP-3, ML-2,

NC-2, Kerala Congress-2, MGP-1, UDF-1, DMK-1 and Ind-5. Smt Indira Gandhi

accepted the verdict gracefully; ‘’the collective judgment of the people must be

respected. My colleagues and I accept their verdict unreservedly and in a spirit

of humility.’’ Emergency was revoked; while the ruling party lost, freedom and

democracy had won.

During the Sixth Lok Sabha an amendment to the Constitution [43rd]

was enacted to revert to a 5year term for Lok Sabha and State Assemblies

instead of 6year term.; civilian awards like Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan,

Padma Shri, etc, were discontinued. The Janata Government [the four political

5

parties-Cong [O], BLD, Jan Sangh and SP] tried to punish those responsible

for the ‘atrocities’ and ‘excesses’ of the Emergency period.

In this government headed by Shri Morarji Desai two ministers were

from Karnataka;

1. Shri B. Rachaiah, Minister of State

2. Shri T A Pai, Cabinet Minister

The 1977 elections had brought to power a non-Congress Government

at the Centre for the first time but the events that led to opposition unity met

with dismal failure. Soon there appeared fissures in the united group of the

ruling Janata Party leading to the resignation of the Prime Minister and his

Council of Ministers on 15 July 1979 on account of a No-Confidence motion.

Another non-Congress Council of Ministers led by Choudhary Charan Singh

was to seek a vote of confidence on 20th August prior to which a letter was

received by the Speaker informing of the resignation of the team. Thus, after a

brief life of 2years and a half the Sixth Lok Sabha was dissolved on 22 August

1979.

General Elections were held in 1980 in which six major parties contested-

the 2 Congress parties, the 2 Janata parties and the 2Communist parties. The

Congress led by Smt Indira Gandhi returned to power with overwhelming

majority. All the members from Karnataka were from Congress [I]. Those who

became ministers were;

1. Shri Veerendra Patil, Minister of Petroleum and Chemicals

2. Shri B Shankaranand, Minister of Education, and Health and

Family Welfare

3. Shri C K Jaffer Sheriff, Minister of State in the Ministry of Railways

During the Seventh Lok Sabha there were privilege issues, serious

discussions and wit and humor as well. The Constitution was amended 7

times; several procedural devices were used by the members to raise matters

of public concern. However, the House was dissolved in the shadow of the

tragic assassination of the Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi on 31st December

1984 and with it ended, the life of the Lok Sabha-[4years, 11 months, 10

days.]21 days before completion of its 5year term,

6

The Eighth Lok Sabha was formally constituted on the same day. The

Congress Party with 3/4 majority came back to power under the leadership of

Shri Rajiv Gandhi. It had the distinction of having more than 71% graduates

or above the number of under-matriculation being 7.9%. The Lok Sabha passed

as many as 13 Constitutional Amendment Bills; Of these 10 were enacted,

the most important being those providing for disqualification of members

on grounds of defection, and reducing the voting age from 21 years to 18

years. 333 enactments were put on Statute Book of which 92 related to

financial matters. Three Subject Committees were constituted-the Committees

on Agriculture, Environment & Forests, and Science& Technology all of which

came into being with effect from 18 August 1989.

Four out of 29 members from Karnataka, [JP-5 & the rest Congress]

were included in the Council of Ministers;

1. Shri B Shankaranand, Minister of Irrigation and Power

2. Shri Veerendra Patil, Minister of Chemicals & Fertilizers and

Industry & Company Affairs

3. Shri Janardhan Poojary, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance

4. Smt Margaret Alva, Minister of State in the Ministry of

Parliamentary Affairs

During the general elections for the Ninth Lok Sabha held on 24th & 26th

November 1989, yet another attempt was made to unite political forces on the

basis of anti-Congressism.The JP, Lok Dal [A], Lok Dal [B] and others merged

to form Janata Dal, which in turn formed a National Front including DMK,

CPI, CPM, Cong [J], AGP, and some others with seat arrangements with BJP.

One of the significant events during the IX Lok Sabha was the sudden

announcement of Prime Minister Shri V P Singh accepted the Report of Mandal

Commission, submitted about 10 years back which led to widespread protest

and violence. There was an intensified agitation for the Ram Janmabhoomi

Temple. As a result the NF government could not complete even a year in

office. Another split occurred in JD, one faction led by Shri V P Singh and

another by Shri Chandrashekhar; the latter was extended external support by

Congress. Shri C. Charan Singh became the Prime Minister and Shri LK Advani,

the leader of the Opposition. 19 Bills were passed in the IX Lok Sabha. The PM

7

tendered resignation on 6 March 1991 and the House was dissolved on

13 March 1991.

There were 28 members from Karnataka, all from Cong [I] except one

from CPI [M] and another from JD. During its life of 1 year, 7 months and

10 days the IX Lok Sabha saw enactment of 7 Constitutional Amendments

important ones being those for setting up Scheduled Castes and Scheduled

Tribes Commission, for safeguarding all land reform laws, the Prasar Bharti

Bill and National Commission for Women Bill.

The first Council of Ministers headed by Shri V P Singh relinquished

office after 11 months and 8 days on account of no-confidence on 7th November

1990; the second one headed by Shri Chandrashekhar assumed office on

10th November and tendered resignation on 6th March 1991. Union Ministers

from Karantaka during the IX Lok Sabha were ;

1. Shri M. S. Gurupaswamy, Minister of Petroleum & Chemicals.

2. Shri Basavraj Patil Anwari, Minister of State, Steel and Mines.

Notification to hold elections to Tenth Lok Sabha was issued on

18th April 1991. Shri Rajiv Gandhi was a candidate from Amethi constituency

who would be next PM. But one day after the first polling, he was brutally

assassinated on 21st May 1991. The delayed and long drawn elections turned

out to be brutal and violent. The chief contestants were the Cong [I], the BJP,

JD, JD[S] and Left parties combine. Shri P V Narasimharao became the PM; in

his Council of Ministers, five were from Karnataka;

1. Shri B Shankaranand, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas

2. Shri C K Jaffer Sheriff, Minister of Railways

3. Shri Siddappa B Nyamagouda, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Coal

4. Smt Margaret Alva, Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel,

Public Grievances and Pensions.

5. Smt. Basavarajeshwari, Minister of State for Women and

Child Development

The Tenth Lok Sabha held 16 sessions. The noteworthy feature of the

Lok Sabha was the enactment of 10 Constitutional Amendments.

8

The Eleventh Lok Sabha was constituted on 15th May 1996 and the

5 year term was to expire on 21st May 2001. The BJP had emerged

as the single largest party followed by Cong [I]. It had the shortest tenure;

PM A B Vajpayee moved the motion of confidence in the Council of Ministers

on 27th May 1996 which, at the end of 2 day debate became infructous and he

announced his resignation. The then President Shri S D Sharma invited

Shri H D Devegowda, leader of the United Front to form government and the

new govt was formed on 12-6-1996. However, in a historic event, the motion of

confidence of Shri H D Devegowda was defeated on 11-4-1997 but the same,

moved by I K Gujaral was adopted on 22-4-1997 during the IV session of the

House. The XI Lok Sabha was dissolved on 4-12-1997, when Cong [I] withdrew

PART TWO

Lok Sabha Members from Karnataka

Article 79 of the Indian Constitution states that there shall be a Parliament

for the Union which shall consist of the President and the two Houses to be

known respectively as the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of

People (Lok Sabha).

Subject to provisions of the Constitution, Parliament is required to make

laws to amend the Constitution as and when such a need is felt. The legislative

process begins with the introduction of a Bill in either House. The draft of the

legislative proposal, put in proper form has to be passed by both Houses of

Parliament, when assented to by the President it becomes an Act. Hence the

Members of Parliament play a vital role in the process of Bills being passed

and Constitutional Amendments being enacted. The debates and discussions

of MPs in the Parliament serve a two-fold purpose. They give an opportunity to

the government of the day to explain its policy and they enable the

representatives of the people to voice the view-points of their electors.

The MPs of Lok Sabha from Karnataka are listed here, Lok Sabha-wise,

with the names of the constituency and the party they contested from.

PART FOUR

Union Ministers

From Karnataka

The Constitution of India, under articles 74 and 75 provides for a Council

of Ministers which is drawn from both the Houses of Parliament. Normally, a

person has to be a member of either of the Houses, to be a Minister. However,

under the Constitution there is no bar to the appointment of a person from

outside the Parliament as a Minister who is required to secure a seat in either

House within six months of his/her appointment. Instances of some of such

members are; Dr Trigunsanden in 1966, Shri Shanti Bhushan in 1977, Justice

H R Khanna and Shri S N Kakkar in 1979, Shri Arjun Singh in 1985,

Dr Manmohan Singh and Shri Sharad Powar in 1991 and Shri Arun Jaitley in

1999; incidentally, Shri P V Narasimha Rao and Shri H D Devegowda were not

Members of Parliamentat at the time of their appointment as PMs of India on

21/6/1991 and 1/6/1996 respectively.

MPs as Ministers and Members of Parliamentary Committees have

onerous duties to perform in the process of carrying out the functioning of the

Parliament – sometimes active and at times passive. Although a small

committee, the cabinet is a source of initiative in the process of legislation, yet

every action of the Council of Ministers is watched by the House which can

make or unmake a Government.

functioning as a Union Minister are;

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES

Parliamentary Committees are the bodies through which MPs can interact

and extract information directly from various ministries and departments, from

files and records and by cross examining officers. As Chairpersons (Members

of various Committees-permanent or adhoc (nominated for a year) these

sometimes vociferous MPs silently carryout significant work. Since listing all

the members of the various Committees is too enormous a task considering

their tenure, it is felt feasible to mention the Committees in a list.
