A dignified leader with timeless style, wit, grace
Then 89-year-old, S.M. Krishna inaugurated Mysuru Dasara atop Chamundi Hill in 2021
Bengaluru: S.M. Krishna is undoubtedly one of the most dignified politicians Karnataka has ever seen, a sentiment echoed across party lines.
Krishna inaugurated the Dasara-2021 festivities atop Chamundi Hill on Oct. 7 that year. He was the first politician in 22 years to inaugurate Dasara. He was 89 then.
An exemplary figure, Krishna carried himself with grace and dignity as a leader. He was a remarkable organiser and an eloquent speaker, always speaking thoughtfully and carefully choosing his words. Fluent in Kannada, English and several other languages, his conduct and speech were a model of decorum. He was an avid reader, particularly of English literature.
It’s rare to find politicians with a strong sense of style, but S. M. Krishna was known for his impeccable dress sense. Whether wearing khadi, suits or more casual attire, he always chose clothes that suited him well and showed a keen attention to detail. Even his wig, when he wore one, was perfectly suited to him.
