No one can rule Karnataka by ignoring Veerashaiva Lingayat, the former Chief Minister and BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai said in Davangere on Sunday.
He was speaking at one of the sessions during the 24th convention of the Akhila Bharata Veerashaiva Mahasabha.
“Veerashaiva Mahasabha is a large family of close-knit relatives who love each other and work for the best interests of others. We are a community that has not wished or caused any harm to any of the other communities. However, some forces are trying to divide us. We should identity such signs and stop them,” he said.
