Although the leaders of the Lingayat-Panchamasali community are divided before the question of Panchamasali Seer Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swami’s open support for the excluded leader BJP Basanagoud R. Patnal, the efforts spent by leader Lingayatu have brought positive results.
As a result, both meetings were dismissed.
While Akhila Bharat Lingayat Panchamasali Samaj Truust, now headed by former lawmaker Vijayanad Kashappanavar, planned to organize the sessions of the lawmakers and leaders that it was on Saturday to gather with his transfer on Saturday in Kudalasangama. She was given the caller with the whole and all and all to gather with the assembly and all and all. On Sunday in Kudalasngama, a meeting to show up.
Former MLA HS Shivashankar, when he spoke with Prespersons in Davangere, said they asked for Vijayanand Kashappanavar and Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swami to keep their plans to organize meetings in the overall interest of the community. He also took the exception of Mr. Kashappanavar’s notes on the fortune teller and the statement of various leaders in this matter, which, as he said, led to confusion between community members.
On Thursday, Mr. Kashappanavar was appointed new chairman “Akhila Bharat Lingayat Panchamasali Samaj Plat”.
Members of the trust and leaders of the community who met in Hubball on Thursday accepted the resignation of the current chairman of Prabhanna Hunasikatti and unanimously elected Mr. Kashappanavar as chairman.
Mr. Kashappanavar was openly critical to the Basava booth Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swami for a 2D reservation and then distanced himself from the Panchamasali movement for a reservation. The decision of the members of the credibility to choose was perceived as an attempt to send a clear fortune teller who prevented his attitude to the expulsion of Mr. Yatnal. Meanwhile, Mr. Yatnal also raised charges against credibility bearers.
Naturally, the development did not fall well with members of the demographically strong Lingayat Panchasali community, which currently has two religious chairs (Mutts) one in Kudalasangama and the other in Harihar.
While the hanger Harihar Peetha Vachananand Swami held on to this question, some community leaders who remained neutral on this matter have begun to solve the problem, and it seems to have worked.
On Friday, Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya SWAMI confirmed that the Sunday meeting was referred to the dismissal of older communities, including several legislators.
He said that the decision was taken to maintain the unity of Panchasali and in the coming days a meeting will be convened either in Belagavi or in another city to find a permanent solution and show the unity of the community.
