Kaginele Kanaka Guru Peetha Objects to MLC BK Hariprasad's statement on Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Kaginele Kanaka Guru Peetha Eshwaranandapuri Swami has expressed his disapproval of the recent statement made by MLC BK Hariprasad. Hariprasad's remarks, which indirectly criticized Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, were criticized by the Swami during a religious gathering in Nagenahalli, Chitradurga.
Swami Iswaranandapuri, while addressing the gathering, urged leaders not to harbor jealousy and cautioned against making divisive statements. He particularly referred to Hariprasad's statement, which implied that Siddaramaiah had primarily focused on the development of the Kuruba community during his tenure. Swami Iswaranandapuri emphasized that Siddaramaiah had adopted an inclusive approach and had not engaged in caste-based politics.
The religious leader pointed out that when Siddaramaiah first assumed the role of Chief Minister, many of his cabinet members did not belong to the Kuruba community, which is Siddaramaiah's own background. He lauded Siddaramaiah for giving opportunities to individuals from various communities, including smaller and marginalized ones. Siddaramaiah was commended for being a champion for the rights of the economically disadvantaged, backward classes, Dalits, and women.
Swami Iswaranandapuri expressed concern that Hariprasad's statement could mislead the public and stressed the importance of addressing such issues to ensure that the truth is known to the people. Hariprasad's indirect critique of Siddaramaiah took place during a gathering of like-minded individuals representing Eediga, Billava, Namdhari, Deeva, and Backward Classes, which was held at Palace Grounds in Baengaluru.
