Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha has taken exception to the decision to change the nomenclature of Akhil Bharat Veerashaiva Mahasabha as Akhil Bharat Veerashaiva Lingayat Mahasabha terming it as not acceptable as Veerashaiva is just a sub-sect of Lingayat.
Addressing presspersons along with mahasabha office-bearers B.V. Shirur, S.V. Kotagi and S.V. Jodalli in Hubballi on Wednesday, president of Dharwad district unit of Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha M.V. Gongadashetty clarified that they too want to bring all the community members under a single umbrella of Lingayat. They are ready to convince them of the factual incorrectness of the new nomenclature.
