  • Former Karnataka Chief Minister SM Krishna passed away at his residence early Tuesday (December 10) morning. The 92-year-old is recognised for having transformed Bengaluru into India's Silicon Valley

The article from Firstpost discusses the life and legacy of S.M. Krishna, a prominent Indian politician known for his significant contributions to Bengaluru, often referred to as "Brand Bengaluru." Born in 1932 in Maddur, Karnataka, Krishna's political journey began with his involvement in the Praja Socialist Party and later the Congress party. He served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka from 1999 to 2004, during which he was instrumental in transforming Bengaluru into an IT hub, attracting global tech companies and fostering infrastructure development. His tenure saw the inception of the Bangalore Agenda Task Force, aimed at improving the city's infrastructure and governance. Krishna also held key national positions, including Governor of Maharashtra and Union Minister for External Affairs, where he was noted for his diplomatic finesse. Despite controversies, like the 2002 land scam, his legacy in Bengaluru's development remains largely positive, with his efforts credited for laying the groundwork for the city's current status as a global tech center. His political career, marked by both achievements and challenges, reflects his commitment to public service and urban development.
