Bengaluru :  Revenue Minister Mr R Ashoka gave away food kits to 1,000 members of Brahmin community at MLA’s office in Padmanabhanagar constituency. Speaking on the occasion.”People have kept faith in me and voted for me. This is responsibility on me and I will continue to serve people. There are many poor people in Brahmin community and we need to help them. Hence, I took up the initiative voluntarily to issue caste certificate which was not the case earlier. The deputy commissioners and tahsildars have been told to following this strictly. We have constructed a building in Padmanabhnagar constituency for free education of poor Brahmin girls and have given land and financial aid.”

Mr Ashoka said, “The Covid wave was so severe that many failed to claim the Covid bodies. So, we decided to immerse the ashes. I followed the due religious process which took more than three hours. Many, including my wife, were scared and warned me against doing it. However, I strongly believed that it was my duty. Now, I am left with one more religious ritual for which I need to visit either Vishnu paada in Kerala or Varanasi to perform one more ritual for the departed souls which I will do shortly. I could do all these because you people gave me a chance to serve you as an MLA.”
