There is need for members and leaders of the Veerashaiva Lingayat community to bury their differences and unite for facilitating the development of the community, according to several seers belonging to the community.
Scores of seers of the Veerashaiva Lingayat community met at Lingayat Bhavan in Dharwad on Monday to deliberate the next course of action for getting various benefits for the community from the government. Akhil Bharat Veearshaiva Mahasabha organised the meeting.
The meeting discussed at length the setbacks suffered by the community in terms of getting government benefits. The issue of other communities getting various benefits and members of the community reportedly shifting allegiance to other religions was also discussed.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
