Venkataiah Srinivasa Prasad (6 August 1947 – 29 April 2024) was an Indian politician from the state of Karnataka, who was recognised as an important Dalit leader in the old Mysore region.[4] He served as a union minister from 1999 to 2004 as part of the Third Vajpayee ministry, and later as Minister of Revenue in the Government of Karnataka from 2013 to 2016. Prasad was elected to the Lok Sabha from Chamarajanagar six times starting 1980. His last win came from the same constituency in 2019, before he announced his retirement from electoral politics in 2021.[5]
