Rambhapuri mutt seer Veerasomeshwara Shivacharya swamy has said that former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah repents his government’s attempt to provide separate religion status for Lingayats.
The seer spoke to the media after Siddaramaiah took his blessings on August 19. There was an allegation against Siddaramaiah that he attempted to ‘divide Lingayats’ from Veerashaiva religion. “Today, he expressed his grief with an open mind,” the seer said in Balehonnur.
“Siddaramaiah told me he did not make an attempt to divide the community, but some people misled him, and he repents that. He assured me that he will not get into the issue of religion, but concentrate on development of the State henceforth,” the seer said.
