<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bengaluru:</strong> Senior Congress leader and Karnataka’s Minister for Planning and Statistics, D. Sudhakar, passed away in the early hours of Sunday, May 10, following a prolonged battle with health complications. He was 66 years old. His demise has left a significant void in the state’s political landscape, particularly in the Chitradurga region where he was a prominent figure.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Final Moments and Medical Details</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Minister Sudhakar had been undergoing treatment for a severe lung infection at the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Bengaluru for the past two months. According to the medical bulletin released by Dr. R. Chinnadurai, Medical Director of KIMS, the minister was declared dead at 3:15 AM. Despite the best efforts of the medical team, his condition remained critical over the last few days.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Legacy of Service and Simplicity</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A three-time MLA from the Hiriyur constituency in Chitradurga district, D. Sudhakar was known for his grassroots connect and humble demeanor. Beyond his current role as the Planning and Statistics Minister, he had also served as the District In-charge Minister for Chitradurga, focusing on local development and welfare schemes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tributes have poured in from across the political spectrum. Karnataka Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar expressed deep grief, describing Sudhakar as a close associate and an exemplary public servant. Similarly, senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala highlighted Sudhakar’s dedication to the party’s ideology and his commitment to the people of Hiriyur, noting that his &#8220;smiling mannerisms and simplicity&#8221; would be dearly missed by all.</p>
