Captain G R Gopinath has finally announced that he would contest from Bangalore South. Capt Gopi as he is called by those who have known and tracked him for years is -- for those who came in late -- the pioneer who introduced the low cost flying model in the country. He is man of many facets. Not many are aware that the Captain prefixed to his name is not from his flying career. He was a Captain in the Indian army and saw action in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war which lead to the creation of Bangaldesh. Capt Gopi was also an award winning farmer after.
