My Story

Serving the Soil, Empowering the Soul.

My journey didn't begin in a political office; it began right here in the soil of Turuvekere. As the State Youth JDS General Secretary, I don't see myself merely as a leader, but as a son of this land.

My Vision

To build a Turuvekere where every youth has a job, and every farmer lives with dignity.

My Promise

I will always remain accessible, transparent, and dedicated to the 'Seva' of my people.

The Roots: A Legacy of Service

My birth was in Turuvekere Government Hospital. My roots are deeply embedded in Doddaghatta, a village known for its hard-working agrarian community.

My father, Late G. Mahalingappa, served as an Executive Officer in the Taluk Panchayats of Turuvekere, Pavagada, and Nagamangala. It was from him that I learned the true importance of public service. My mother is Lakshmamma.

Family Legacy

Ancestry

The Legacy of Doddaputte Gowdru

My great-grandfather (Muthatha), affectionately known as 'Doddaputte Gowdru', was a pioneer of social welfare in his time. Long before modern government schemes, he built 'Kalyanis' (water tanks) and 'Hal Bavi' (wells) to ensure no traveler or villager went thirsty. He also constructed rest houses and the magnificent Gopura of Mallagata Gangadhareshwara Swamy Temple.

Political Heritage

Guided by Giants

My path is illuminated by the wisdom of our great leaders. Their struggle for the farmers and the common man is my ultimate guidebook.

The Motivation

Inspired by Legacy, Driven by Vision

"Social service can help hundreds, but political will can help lakhs."

My transition from social work to politics was not a change of heart, but a change of scale. I voluntarily joined the JD(S) party, magnetized by the 'Mannina Makkalu' (Sons of the Soil) philosophy and the unyielding commitment to the farmer.

Walking with Giants

Every interaction with the H.D. Deve Gowda family is a masterclass in public service.

"Beyond the politics and the rallies, it is the quiet moments that have shaped me the most. Watching Hon'ble H.D. Deve Gowda ji listen to a poor farmer with undivided attention, or seeing H.D. Kumaraswamy ji's tirelessness despite health challenges—these are the moments that fuel my resolve."
