Confidence or overconfidence will be known later : Dingaleshwar Swami
Dharwad: Former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa's recent comments have triggered a bold response from Fakir Sri Dingaleshwar Swamiji, setting the stage for a close fight in the upcoming elections.
Speaking at a support meeting organized by the State Farmers Union and Green Army at a private hotel in Hubballi, Dingaleshwar Swamiji asserted, "We will know in the near future whether it is confidence or overconfidence." This statement was a direct retort to BSY's warning to not contest against Union Minister Prahlada Joshi.
Dismissing BSY's advice, Dingaleshwar Swamiji said that his commitment is to his self-esteem. He further stated, "We do not listen to anyone when our self-esteem is threatened." He further declared that discussions regarding the election will only be held with devotees and voters, not with any party leader.
Accusing Prahlada Joshi of fearing defeat, Dingaleshwar Swamiji highlighted Joshi's recent efforts to meet and organize with leaders of various communities. He also addressed alleged slander spread by Joshi's devotees, claiming to be devotees of the Math.
He further said that his devotees have claimed that some have threatened them. Hence they may not be able to openly show their support. However, our devotees are saying that we will do whatever we want to do inside.
Dingaleshwar Swamiji is set to submit his nomination papers for elections on April 18, with expectations of significant support from his followers.
