Bengaluru: Seeking to set aside speculation that the government may take over some of the prominent maths, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said the government would neither takeover nor supersede religious maths in the State.

The CM told the Legislative Council while replying to opposition leader KS Eshwarappa, there were no provisions under the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act-1997 to bring the maths under the government’s jurisdiction.
