'''Siddavanahalli Nijalingappa''' (10 December 1902 – 8 August 2000) was an Indian independence activist, [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] politician, and lawyer who served two terms as the [[Government of Karnataka|Chief Minister of Karnataka]] (then [[Mysore State]]) first between 1956 and 1958, and once again from 1962 to 1968. He was the 4th Chief Minister of the state of Karnataka.

He played an important role not only in the Indian freedom movement but also the [[Unification of Karnataka|Karnataka Unification]] movement.

==Early life and education==
Nijalingappa was born on 10 December 1902 to a middle class family in Haluvagalu, a small village in [[Bellary district|Bellary]], [[Karnataka]]<ref name="bio">{{cite web|title=FACTIONS AND POLITICAL LEADERS|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/95026/13/13_chapter%204.pdf|page=193|access-date=11 March 2018}}</ref> (then in the [[Madras Presidency]] of [[British India]]). His father, a small businessman, died when Nijalingappa was five; his mother was a homemaker. The family were [[Lingayatism|Lingayat Hindus]]; Nijalingappa's mother was noted as a devout worshipper of [[Shiva]].<ref name="bio"/> Nijalingappa later recalled that his "father's ancestors were all rich profligates" and that they "dissipated their wealth on gambling, drinking and womanising." He added that his "mother's father helped [his] parents, but [his family] were still very poor."

He grew up in [[Davanagere]] and, as a child, was given a traditional education by Veerappa Master, an elder teacher. He joined a formal, western primary school in Davanagere and then a secondary school in [[Chitradurga]] in 1919. He became interested in politics during this time after reading the political writings of [[Annie Besant]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Riti|first1=M.

Thus, like many other leaders of the [[Indian independence movement|Indian freedom movement]], he received a blend of both traditional Indian-style and Western-style education. He was influenced by the ideologies of [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and [[Rajendra Prasad]], and began to take an active part in the freedom movement in his native Karnataka.

Nijalingappa attended the Congress sessions as a spectator. It was in 1936, when he came into contact with [[N. S. Hardikar]], that he began to take an active interest in the organization. He served it first as a volunteer, rising to be the President of the [[Pradesh Congress Committee]] and finally the President of the [[All India Congress Committee]] in 1968.

He became president of the Mysore Congress and was also a member of the historic [[Constituent Assembly of India|Constituent Assembly]] from 1946 to 1950. In 1952, he was elected to the [[1st Lok Sabha|First Lok Sabha]] from the [[Chitradurga (Lok Sabha constituency)|Chitradurga constituency]] (now Chitradurga) then in [[Mysore state]].

In recognition of his enormous services towards the unification of Karnataka, he was chosen as the first Chief Minister of the unified state. Then again for the second time, he was elected to the same post and he continued in that post up to April 1968. He may well be called the "Maker of Modern Karnataka". The state owes much to him for development of agricultural, irrigation, industrial and transport projects.<ref name="sta4">{{cite web|title=NIJALINGAPPA – ARCHITECT OF KARNATAKA|url=http://www.presidentvenkataraman.in/images/pdf/inside_indian_polity_pdf/26-Nijalingappa_Architecht%20_Karnataka.pdf|publisher=presidentvenkatraman.in}}</ref>

He became the Congress President when people in many parts of the country had expressed their distrust in it in the 1967 elections. He chaired two Congress sessions in 1968 and 1969 held in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] and [[Faridabad]] respectively. Due to his untiring efforts, the Congress Party was re-invigorated.{{Citation needed|date=July 2020}} However, the factional feud between various factions of the party increased and finally resulted in the historic split of the party in 1969.<ref name="stat8">{{cite book|title=Split in a Predominant Party: The Indian National Congress in 1969|isbn = 9788170171409|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UOQRWuMXyRMC&q=nijalingappa+kamaraj&pg=PA92|last1 = Singh|first1 = Mahendra Prasad|year = 1981}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2019-11-13|title=From the Archives (November 13, 1969): Prime Minister expelled from Congress|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/archives/from-the-archives-november-13-1969-prime-minister-expelled-from-congress/article29954895.ece|access-date=2020-07-04|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> He was the last president of undivided Indian National Congress and had to see his party being split into [[Indian National Congress (R)|Congress (R)]] that supported [[Indira Gandhi]], and [[Indian National Congress (Organisation)|Congress (Organization)]] or Syndicate Congress that consisted of senior leaders like Nijalingappa himself, [[Neelam Sanjiva Reddy]], [[Kamaraj]] and [[Morarji Desai]].<ref name="stat7">{{cite web|title=Split in the Congress|url=http://indiansaga.com/history/postindependence/split_congress.html|publisher=Indiansaga}}</ref>
