Renowned philanthropist and administrator of the Dharmasthala temple in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district, Dharmasthala Veerendra Heggade, is likely to take oath as Rajya Sabha MP later in the day on Thursday. Heggade was nominated to the Rajya Sabha earlier this month. His nomination came alongside that of three other eminent personalities -- ace music composer Ilayaraja, Olympic athlete PT Usha and screenwriter V Vijayendra Prasad. His nomination filled the void the coastal region of Karnataka has had in the Upper House.
