Controversies[edit]
Gangaiah Murder[edit]
Ramesh had allegedly snatched a gun from his security guard Krishnappa and shot dead Gangaiah during clashes with Janata Dal supporters outside an inspection bungalow in Kunigal, Tumkur district. This happened during the assembly by-elections in the constituency in June 1992. Following the incident, an investigation was ordered by then Chief Minister Bangarappa, which gave a clean chit to Ramesh in its 'B' summary report to the Kunigal magistrate's court. Veerappa Moily, who took over as the chief minister in 1993 appointed retired judge M.S. Patil to inquire into the incident. In June 1995, Patil submitted his findings to the Government. In late February 1996, the Government tabled the report in legislature since such reports should be within eight months of submission. The report accused the police for clearing the minister of the murder charges and reiterated that Gangaiah had sustained the bullet injury as a result of the firing by Ramesh, which lead to his death. The report accused investigating officer G.K. Bekal "A cursory reading of the 'B' summary report would show that he (Bekal) played the role of a judge and virtually wrote a judgment of acquittal." Following the tabling of the report, Home Minister P.G.R. Sindhia announced that the Government would withdraw the 'B' report and launch criminal proceedings against Ramesh and Krishnappa based on the Patil committee findings. Both the two accused had sought anticipatory bail.
Death[edit]
He died of heart attack on 7-July-2006. He was survived by his wife, a son and a daughter. Then Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy, Pradesh Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge and other senior Congress leaders paid homage to the departed soul.[5]
