Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Wednesday demanded that Bharat Ratna should be given to former chief minister late D Devaraj Urs, who was the voice of Dalit communities in the state.

While welcoming the decision to posthumously award Bharat Ratna to former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur, he also expressed the opinion that the same award should be given to Devraj Urs.

“Kannadigas demand that D Devaraj Urs be awarded Bharat Ratna as he has made huge contribution to the welfare of Dalits in Karnataka. The Center should consider the demand,” he said in a statement.
