The differences in the report on socio-economic and educational survey before the meeting of the Cabinet 17. April appears in the ruling congress, and its government with the leader Lingayat and Minister of the Heavy Industry MB Patil claims that the Lingayat population in the state was more than one crore against 66.35 MAKH.
“This is not a simple problem. It’s not H. Kanatra’s fault (commission). We are also responsible for a reduced population. People registered on Sunday without reference to Lingayats in order to reservations in category 2a.
His comments came on the basis of data in the survey-stated State State Committee for Back Class-Odhalila Population Veerashaiva-Landayat, which is about 66.35 lakhs or about 11% of the above population, which is much less than a number of about 17% to 22%. Veerashaiva-Longayats and Vokkaligas attack the population data and both said that the survey was unscientific.
Mr. Patil, leader Lingayat, said that Banajig, Ganig and Kumbar’s communities have left with the “Hindu” prefix and predicted their castes with Lingayat. “If you take this population, more than 25 lakh to the Lingayat population is added. The discussion will be about how to add them to the community. In the category there are other castes with the same names.”
He said that it was necessary to discuss alternatives, said: “We will have to find out if the communities agree to bring from 2A to 3b.
Mr. Patil’s cabinet and Interior Minister G. Parameshware said Prespersons in Tumacur that since the main Minister Siddaramaiah said that 95% of the population was covered, the Cabinet has agreed to agree. “There has been no discussion so far. I have also read a copy. The population data is already in public and it is more or less true.”
However, the representative of the main Minister DK Shivakumar, the leader of Vokkalig, said it was the right to protect their relevant community. “Why should we intervene or criticize whether (community leaders) state a statement. They have the right under the Constitution. The main minister said in the legislative choir. How much can be open?”
President KPCC said Prespersons in Bengalur: “As President KPCC is my duty to fulfill justice to everyone. My voice, my body, my goal and my commitment is there (for this problem).”
Community meeting
Meanwhile, the Veraashaiva-Landayat and Vokkaliga Community is expected to meet and formulate their response to the reconnaissance report before the Cabinet meeting on April 17, although they continue to differ from the Commission’s findings, in particular the population data.
