Udupi, Sep 27: Chief minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated the renovated Gurupeeta at Kulamahashree Amma Temple in Benne Kudru on Saturday September 27.

Addressing the programme at Gandhi Maidan, he said, "Those who are deprived of social justice and opportunities should come to the mainstream; this should be the purpose of organizations."

Speaking on secularism CM said, "We should come out from the framework of caste and religion to create a secular society. It is not enough if we only talk about caste, but should also come out of it. The organizations should provide awareness programmes to the suppressed class and make them economically and educationally strong. Without any education and economic support it is difficult to get into the mainstream of society."

"When these suppressed classes increased their standard of living, education and financial support, we can built a secular society," he added.

"Family occupations should get dislodged. Fishermen need not remain fishermen, instead can choose his desired work. No fields are reserved for anyone; change is required and a change is needed to bring the suppressed class to the mainstream. Hence, the children should be given proper education," he opined.

On the occasion. CM recalled Dr Ambedkar's motto 'Educate, Organize and Struggle.

"Establishing Gurupeeta should be an intention of providing awarness to the community, since it is necerssary," he said.

He added that an equal distribution of wealth should take place; a man who has plenty has to donate to the needy people.

MLA Pramod Madwaraj and G Shanker who were present on the occasion, submitted submitted their demands to the CM.

CM, in answer to the demands said, "Rs 10 crores is reserved for the development of the backward class. Death compensation to fishermen will be increased more than Rs 1 lac."

    Suppressed class = Common Voters.

    They are remembered and used as tool to fill ballot box to promote prosperity to various Netas every Five years at least. But Voters have no right to call them back ! Is it not suppressed and oppressed class ?
    Over and above every effort is made to keep divided this class, in the name of Cast, creed, Religion, so they remain confused and oppressed.
    Why cant we have not just "Adult franchise" by age, but also maturity of mind too.

    Indeed suppressed and oppressed classes should be brought to mainstream. However let not the statement remain a statement. It is time that every one felt equal with the other. Class system are all MAN-MADE and need to be resolved by all means.

    With regard to compensation for fishermen who die in action (ie while fishing) this should be enhanced to at least ten lacs. After all these good people provide us with food by risking their lives.

    Hope their living conditions change for the better.

    What Siddramaiah say is nothing but a pure bluff......
    He is not not happy when a person from suppressed/backward class become the Prime Minister of the country and refuses to hang his photo in his cabin at Vidhana Saudha!!!
    According to Siddaramaiah, suppressed/backward class may mean people only from Communal Corrupt Congress party!!!

    Dear KRP,May be you are mistaken, he is not happy to hang the photo of our prime minister not bcz of his suppressed/backward class and its a open secret, our prime minister is one of the best minister may be but he is a communal who was deaf and dump when he was CM allowed to massacre and he is still deaf and dump when his friends and colleagues makes statements or involved in massacre/rape of tribals. I salute our CM at least he is far better than those who looted our state day and night and went to jail.

    I like this speeches of congress leaders. .
    They always speak about peace and harmony. .

    Where as others dont need to mention everybody knows about it.
    I think only modi speaks about peace but no other leaders.
