Mysore/Mysuru: Stating that though the literacy rate which was just 16 percent at the time of Independence, has now grown to 78 percent, Opposition leader and former Chief Minister Siddharamaiah bemoaned that with the rise in literacy, peace and harmony in the society is falling.
He was speaking during the interaction which followed after the release of the book “Siddharamaiah Aadalitha: Neeti Nirdhara” (Siddharamaiah administration: Police decisions) at the programme organised by Bengaluru’s Janamana Pratishtana at Kalamandira here on Saturday.
