Taking exception to the delay in including Lingayat Panchamasali community under 2A category of Other Backward Classes and demanding early inclusion, members of the community have planned to stage a dharna in front of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s residence in Shiggaon on June 27.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Tuesday, he said: “Panchamasali community has trust in the Chief Minister’s assurance. However, he is engaged in such acts that may lead to him losing it.”
“The Chief Minister should clarify his stand on getting 2A reservation for the community,” he added.
