I’m responsible for Veerashaiva-Lingayat issue: Shamanur Shivashankarappa
Mysuru, August 05: All India Veerashaiva Mahasabha president Dr Shamanur Shivashankarappa said that in a way, he was responsible for the separate Veerashaiva-Lingayat religion row in the state.
Speaking at Basava Jayanti and felicitation to Veerashaiva-Lingayat community ministers, MLAs and MPs, organized by the All India Veerashaiva Mahasabha and Veerashaiva Lingayat Sangha and Basava Balaga at Chamundi Hills here on Sunday, he said that when former chief minister Siddaramaiah issued an order to put the portrait of Basavanna in government offices, Veerashaiva Mahasabha had conducted a felicitation programme. This issue was discussed in that programme. In a way, he had made a mistake. The voice that started during the programme was grown big and created a big wave during the Assembly election. But now, it came down, he said.
