In a show of strength by the Lingayat religious mutts, a council of seers that met here on Sunday urged the BJP high command to keep B.S. Yediyurappa as Chief Minister, even as the latter in Belagavi put the onus on the high command for his continuation. Mr. Yediyurappa should be allowed to complete his term since he has been working with efficiency, the seers said at a council meeting that was convened to discuss the “current crisis”. They refused to call the event an attempt at show of strength by the Lingayat community. In light of speculation that the meeting was “engineered” by Mr. Yediyurappa’s camp to exert pressure on the party high command, they also clarified that they had gathered “voluntarily”.More Related News
