Once a wise man said “God calls good people to him as early as possible”. Who knew that the go(o)d man of Belagavi, Shri Suresh Angadiji will leave us soon. Who knew that on the eve of 23rd Sept 2020, many of the Belgaumites will be shocked after realising that the MP of the city, their favourite Suresh Angadi is no more. Former Minister of state of Railways, Member of Parliament from 2004, The famous and successful edupreneur, One of the cleanest politicians of the country, The person who brought the concept of SMART CITY to Belagavi, these are few feathers of the crown of Suresh Angadi.

He was consecutively elected as MP in 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019. He took oath as MOS of Railways under Shri Piyush Goyal, the present Railway Minister of India. Suresh Angadi sits in the hearts of many Belgaumites. This is because of the tremendous work he did in the city while representing it in lower house for 16+ years. Some of his works are Schools and Colleges, getting Belagavi selected in the first list of Smart Cities, Making Belagavi an Industrial hub with more diversification, railway over bridges, and many more.
