Munirathna Naidu, commonly known as Munirathna, is an Indian film producer-turned-politician[1] from Karnataka who is currently serving as the Minister of Horticulture and Planning, Programme Monitoring & Statistics of Karnataka from 4 August 2021. Member of the BJP, he was elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Karnataka from Rajarajeshwari Nagar in the years 2013, 2018 & 2020. [2][3] He resigned from the Assembly in July 2019.[4]
Notable films produced by Munirathna include Aunty Preethse, Raktha Kanneeru, Anatharu, Katari Veera Surasundarangi and Kurukshetra.[5]
Filmography[edit | edit source]
- Aunty Preethse (2001)
- Raktha Kanneeru (2003)
- Anatharu (2007)
- Katari Veera Surasundarangi (2012)
- Munirathna Kurukshetra (2019)
Controversies[edit | edit source]
In December 2014, Lokayukta police recovered 1016 BBMP files related to Rajarajeshwari Nagar constituency from Munirathna's house in Vyalikaval.[6][7]
In March 2018, Munirathna was named in a ₹1500 crore BBMP fake bill chargesheet by the Crime Investigation Department.[8] In the chargesheet, Munirathna, who was working as a civil contractor in 2008–09, was found "colluding with BBMP officials and swindling [money] by executing poor quality road work."[9]
Days before the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election in May 2018, Bangalore Police booked a criminal case against Munirathna after the Election Commission found around 10,000 fake voter ID cards in an apartment in Jalahalli.[10] As a result of this scandal the election in the Rajarajeshwari Nagar constituency was postponed to 28 May, with Munirathna emerging victorious.[11][4]
