Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said here on Friday that there was a dire threat to democracy and the Constitution which was being sought to be replaced by vested interest groups and Hindutva forces.
He was speaking at a seminar on “Anxieties of Democracy in Contemporary India” organised by the Union of Progressive Organisations, Mysuru, to commemorate socialist and Gandhian Pa. Mallesh, who passed away in January 2023.
Mr. Siddaramaiah said the three pillars of democracy — legislature, executive, and judiciary — were being weakened and people of the country should realise from where the threat was emerging and should reject such forces.
