Davanagere: Veerashaiva and Lingayat both are same. Veerashaiva Mahasabha and Jagatika Lingayat Maha Sabha must unite, said MLA and president of Akhila Bharat Veerashaiva Maha Sabhe Shamanuru Shivashankarappa.

Speaking to reporters at a program in Davangere, he said that a meeting of the critical leaders of both the organisations would be called in Bangalore. But, the Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha should not put any conditions. We are ready If they come without any conditions.

Responding regarding the ministerial berth to M.B. Patil, Shiva Shankarappa said “pressurising techniques will not work out in the Congress party. I am not back of any post in the cabinet. Instead, I would prefer to work for the development of Davanagere,” he said.
