The former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar has said that there is no question of dividing Veerashaiva Lingayat as the just concluded convention in Davangere has passed a resolution highlighting the rightful demands of the community.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, Mr. Shettar clarified that earlier too he emphasised the need for taking up a united fight for seeking independent religion status.
“Earlier it was being projected that Veerashaiva and Lingayat were different to which I had objected. I had said that Veerashaiva Lingayat Mahasabha should take the lead in the fight for getting independent religion status,” he said.
