BENGALURU: The Constitution Club, which is seeking a revival, met on Monday to discuss ways to strengthen democratic structures. It was set up as a platform for legislators and parliamentarians, but had become defunct as many of the office-bearers had changed.
The meeting was held under the leadership of Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, president of the three-member leadership team. The other members are Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
This club was renewed about 12 years ago when K G Bopaiah was Speaker in 2009. It was planned to have a library for the members, besides platforms to interact with other parliamentarians and hold symposiums for legislators. The Constitution Club will also have residential facilities for visiting legislators and parliamentarians.
