Bengaluru, Mar 11: As a shocker to the state Congress leaders, former MP and current working president of KPCC R Dhruvanarayana passed away on Saturday early morning.

It is reported that Dhruvanarayana suffered a massive cardiac arrest at around 6.40am in Mysuru. Dhruvanarayana complained of chest pain and breathed his last at the hospital.
He was elected twice as MLA and also served as the MP of Chamrajanagar.

No words can describe the irrepairable loss of our ever smiling friend, our leader & easily the most dedicated foot soldier of Congress, Sh. Dhruvanarayan.
