13 vii 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 26 th 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 adultsmen 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.

14 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. Dr. Shalini Rajneesh, I.A.S. Secretary to Government DPAR (AR)

15 ix 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, IVlists 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.

16 x We are beholden to His Excellency, the Vice President of India, Shri Hamid Ansariji for his Message ; we are indebted to Hon ble Deputy Speaker, Shri Karia Mundaji for the Foreword. We are thankful to Hon'ble Chief Minister of Karnataka for his words of encouragement. We express our gratitude to the Director, officers and staff of Parliament Library for their cooperation. It is ardently hoped that the booklet will be of interest and use to readers in general and researchers, academics and public men and women in particular.

17 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, , 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.

18 2 The First Lok Sabha [ ], 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,[ ], 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 [ ], 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, 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.

19 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.

20 4 In the Fifth Lok Sabha [ ] 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

21 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 General Elections were held in 1980 in which six major parties contestedthe 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,

22 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 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 24 th & 26 th 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

23 7 tendered resignation on 6 March 1991 and the House was dissolved on 13 March 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 7 th November 1990; the second one headed by Shri Chandrashekhar assumed office on 10 th November and tendered resignation on 6 th March Union Ministers from Karantaka during the IX Lok Sabha were ; 1.

But one day after the first polling, he was brutally assassinated on 21 st May 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.

24 8 The Eleventh Lok Sabha was constituted on 15 th May 1996 and the 5 year term was to expire on 21 st May 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 27 th 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 However, in a historic event, the motion of confidence of Shri H D Devegowda was defeated on but the same, moved by I K Gujaral was adopted on during the IV session of the House.

27 11 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.

49 PART FOUR 33 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.
