Mysore/Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah emphasised the importance of economic and social equality alongside political freedom, stating, “Freedom alone cannot suffice without ensuring economic and social equity in society.”
Addressing a national seminar on ‘Contemporary Distresses in Indian Democracy’ organised by the Union of Progressive Organisations to commemorate the 90th birth anniversary of social activist P. Mallesh at Kalamandira yesterday, the CM highlighted that while democracy grants equal voting rights, true political equality must be complemented by socio-economic democracy.
