Urging first-time legislators to read the Constitution and understand its basic tenets, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday felt that those who fail to do so cannot become good legislators or Parliamentarians.
“If we understand the Constitution well, we can place people’s problem well before the legislature. There will be no chance of laws being enacted against the spirit of the Constitution,” the CM said after inaugurating a three-day training workshop for 70 legislators, who have entered the 16th Karnataka Legislative Assembly by winning elections for the first time.
“If there was no Constitution, people like me, C.T. Ravi and K.S. Eshwarappa could not have become legislators. I would have ended up being a shepherd somewhere. That is why it is important to understand the Constitution given by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar,” he said.
