BS Yediyurappa, a former chief minister, is not a bad choice for the Akhila Bharat Veerashaiva Mahasabha post, said Channasiddharama Panditaradhya Swami of Shreeshail Math in Belagavi on Friday. The position has been vacant since the death of former minister Shamanur Shivashankarappa, who held the post for several years.
A fortune teller told reporters that there are several suitable candidates for the post, but Mr. Yediyurappa could be a good choice. He worked not only for the welfare of the society but also for the development of the state.
“He is a tall leader who will take everyone along. The Mahasabha has its constitution and the elections will be held as per the constitution. We are confident that all the members will take a good decision soon,” he said.
