Billavas who had settled in Bengaluru sought my help to get land from the State Government to build a Community Hall. I was a Rajya Sabha member then. S M Krishna was the Chief Minister and H C Srikanthaiah was the Revenue Minister. They considered my memorandum and alloted 2 acres of land on Banneraghatta Road. While taking possession of the land, it came to light that the land adjacent to the one alloted to the Billava Sangha was contracted to son of an MLA. So, we had to forgo one acre out of two acres. Now a Brahmashree Narayana Guru Mandira, a marriage hall and hostels have been built on that land. I inaugurated these buildings.
