Bronze statue of Vishwanath Reddy Mudnal unveiled in Yadgir

Freedom fighter and veteran leader Vishwanath Reddy Mudnal was a man of rare qualities and a role model for all politicians of this era, Minister for Small Scale Industries and Public Enterprises Shanabasappa Darshanapur has said.

Addressing a gathering after unveiling a bronze statue of Mudnal in Yadgir on Friday, he said: “Mudnal was a mass leader, with rare qualities. His politics was of ethics and values. Although politics underwent a drastic change, he stuck to his ethics. He fought for special status for the Hyderabad Karnataka region. He was instrumental in constructing a building for Veerashaiva Mahasabha in Bengaluru by collecting donation from the community.”

Kalaburagi MP Umesh Jadhav said that Mudnal was like Balasaheb Thackeray of Maharashtra. He initiated several development works in undivided Kalaburagi district when he was Minister, Dr. Jadhav said.

Sri Veerasomeshwar Shivacharya Swami of Rambhapuri Peeth delivered a discourse.
