Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday urged Dalit and backward class communities not to spoil the future of their children by giving power to “anti-constitutionalists”.
“The anti-constitutional policy of divide and rule must be properly understood,” he said, speaking at the birth anniversary of the former Chief Minister D. Devaraj Urs organised by the Karnataka State Dalit Sangharsha Samiti (DSS) here.
“If B.R. Ambedkar had not been the chairman of the constitution drafting committee, our country would not have had such a meaningful Constitution. Devaraj Urs worked hard to effectively implement the wishes of Ambedkar and the Constitution through his policies as the Chief Minister. Thus, he implemented social justice programmes which were not implemented by any of the previous Chief Ministers,” he said.
