‘Malenada Mathugara', a collection of speeches delivered by K.H. Srinivas, released in Karnataka's Sagar
'Malenada Mathugara', a collection of speeches that former Minister late K.H. Srinivas delivered at the Legislative Session, was released in a programme in Sagar on Wednesday.
Karnataka Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti, who released the book, recalled that Mr. Srinivas used to attend the sessions well prepared. His speeches on the floor of the House were full of authenticity; the way he presented his thoughts was a model to others in the House, he said.
Mr. Horatti said that in recent years, the quality of discussions in Legislature Sessions has eroded. The legislators hardly show interest in preparing for the sessions, he added.
Theatre personality K.V. Akshara recalled the role Mr. Srinivas played in setting up a college in Sagar in the 1960s, and referred to him as the 'dreamer of Malnad'. Critic T.P. Ashok spoke about the literary contributions of Mr. Srinivas.
Malnad Development Foundation president B.R. Jayanth, MLA for Sagar Belur Gopala Krishna, daughter of Mr. Srinivas K.S. Vaishali, and others participated.
Mr. Srinivas, who passed away on August 30, 2024, had served as Minister for Energy, and Kannada and Culture, and also served as the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council.
