Do ministers provide receipts for bribe they take? Dingaleshwara Swamiji asks
Gadag: Shirahatti Fakeera Dingaleshwara Swamiji on Tuesday said that all pontiffs are commissioned, yet not overtly. The truth will come out if they undergo a narco-analysis test, he said.
Addressing a press conference earlier today, he said, “Excluding the muzrai department, more or less all departments are being given commissions by the pontiffs with donation. However, these things are not discussed openly. The truth will come out when they go through a narco-analysis test.”
“Mutts and temples will provide a receipt for the donations they receive. But do ministers provide a receipt for the bribe they take?” he questioned and added, “Out of Rs 75 lakh issued for the development of out mutt, the government officials are demanding Rs 25 lakh for themselves. How could we expect a better document?”
Further, he argued, “the CM’s decision to celebrate the birth anniversary of Tontadarya Mutt seer as National Integration Day is condemnable. The seer of Lingayat community was against Brahmanical principles. Thus, he cannot be a symbol of integration,” and asked “Don’t you remember how he provoked a statewide unrest by claiming Lingayat community to be distinct?”
