The Hindu
They warn of holding a meeting to decide future course of action if he is removed from post of CM
Amid intense speculation about a possible leadership change in Karnataka and a day after Veerashaiva Mahasabha heads expressed support for Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, seers from the community came out in the open to back the Chief Minister and warned that they would hold a meeting to decide their future course of action if he is removed from the top post. While Shivamurthy Muruga Swami of Muruga Mutt held a press conference along with about 20 seers from several other mutts in Chitradurga to express solidarity with Mr. Yediyurappa, another set of over 20 seers, led by Dingaleshwara seer, met the Chief Minister at his official residence to demonstrate their backing. Prasanna Renuka Veerasomeshwar Shivacharya Swami of Rambhapuri Peetha has also expressed his support for the veteran leader.More Related News
