Karnataka Congress MLA Dr H.D. Ranganath has won the hearts of the people after he performed knee surgery for free on a needy woman in Kunduru. Asha, from a humble background, had suffered knee joint displacement ten years ago. A surgery was successfully conducted under the Yashaswini scheme. But, unfortunately, her knee was displaced again, and her family was unable to afford the high costs of private hospitals that had quoted an estimated Rs 4 to Rs 5 lakh for the operation.
After meeting with Dr Ranganath and sharing her plight, he took the initiative to help. Serving as an orthopedic surgeon before he became a legislator, he performed the surgery on Asha himself, providing the much-needed relief to the woman. His act has won him accolades and appreciation from the people.
As both a Congress MLA and a former orthopedic surgeon, Dr Ranganath has been known for his service before he became a legislator, and his humane actions have further underlined his dedication to serving the people. People have praised his gesture and stated that such acts help change the perception about politicians.
Dr Ranganath’s actions are a beacon of hope for people in need, and his dedication to improving healthcare accessibility in Karnataka echoes the values of empathy, kindness, and compassion. His initiative further underscores the importance of having representatives who are committed to serving their constituents above all else.
