Mysuru, July 21, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): Following the rumors of change of the leadership in BJP in the State, several seers exhibited their strong support to B.S. Yediyurappa, warning the BJP high command.
Meanwhile, BJP MLC H. Vishwanath has strongly criticized the men in saffron for their move. He addressed a press meet in Mysuru today. “Maths are not centers of politics. The seers should be a part of the society, they should not become part of politics or power. Religious heads should not be biased or should not speak on behalf of anyone person. It is extremely wrong to bring the seers to the streets to show their strength. Karnataka is a very peace-loving, secular state. Hence, I request the seers to leave politics to the politicians. There should be no politics in religion, religion should be in politics,” he said.
“17 of us came to BJP and we are not lingayats. We didn’t come to BJP seeing that BSY belongs to the lingayat community. We didn’t see Yediyrappa’s caste, we came considering that he is a struggler,” he commented.
