Politics

Our Chairman, Shri Santhosh Lad was holding a responsible position of Honerable Ministry of Labour & Skill Development, Information and infrastructure heading Karnataka's federal ministry which is responsible to protect and safeguard the interest of workers in general and the poor, deprived and disadvantaged sections of the society. The Ministry aims to create a healthy work environment for higher production and productivity and to develop and coordinate vocational skill training and employment

Mr. Lad entered politics accidentally. His maiden entry was by contesting By-elections for the Sandur Town Panchayat. Lad started his political career a counselor from Sandur taluk. He had very little success in taluk panchayat elections, where he lost marginally in his first election. He went on to win both seats he contested in the following election, contributing to his party gaining the majority during that period. He again stood for the Panchayat Elections from two places and won both the seats. He was also instrumental in his party obtaining the majority in Panchayat Elections. This heralded the beginning of his political career.

In 2004, Mr. Lad won from Sandur in Bellary District with a huge margin of 35,000 votes. He was one of the youngest members of the Legislative Assembly at the age of 29. He was accepted by his people as their able representative for the hard work and the support his family has been providing even before entering active politics. He currently is an active member and represents Indian National Congress.
