Davanagere: Veteran Congress leader hails Yediyurappa for blocking split in Veerashaiva-Lingayat


Daijiworld Media Network - Davanagere (SP)

Davanagere, Sep 30: National president of Akhil Bharata Veerashaiva Mahasabha and Congress MLA Dr Shamanur Shivashankarappa, said that Veerashaiva-Lingayat religion has stayed united as of now because of chief minister, Yediyurappa. "When some people in the past tried to split the religion and create Lingayat religion for their own benefit, Yediyruappa solidly backed my stand that both the religions are one and the same," he said.

Shivashankarappa praised Yediyurappa for saving the religion from its imminent division. "When the people were in cross roads, Yediyurappa stood by me and said that he is committed to what I said and that he would follow the stand I took. His words instilled courage and confidence in me," he recollected.

Shamanur was speaking after releasing the work, 'Kollipaki Kshetra Darshana' at the religious conference organized at high school ground in the city on behalf of Rambhapuri Swamiji on the occasion of ten-day Dasara festival on Saturday. He also said that the efforts to split the religion and demand for creation of a new religion had gained significance when Siddaramaiah was the chief minister.

    Krishna, Udupi, Modi is PM of a democratic nation, not a dictator.

    Law applies to him and citizens equally.

    Modiji should introduce bill in both houses upper and lower for stop praising bjp party and it's leaders. We overhelmed with comments poured in from all sectors but it also hinder us and disturb to concentrate on our good work. We no more give importance and entertain for praising even from other party people. For us kaayakve kailasa.
