Panchamasali community flexes its muscles with rally for reservation change
The Hindu
The Panchamasali community’s demand for reservation under 2A category in the Other Backward Classes (OBC) list could turn into a vexing issue for Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa as their seer Basava Jayamruthyunjaya Swami on Sunday announced that he would not return to his mutt till the demand was met.
He made the announcement at a rally attended by thousands from the community, a Lingayat-Veerashaiva subsect, in Bengaluru. A march to the Vidhana Soudha, taken out after the rally, saw some tense moments but things were brought under control as the agitators were diverted to Freedom Park.
