BJP using Siddaganga seer for political gains by promising Bharat Ratna: Mate Mahadevi

Bagalkot, Sept 14: In a shocking revelation, Basava Dharma Peeta chief Mate Mahadevi has said that the statement of Siddganga Mutt seer Shivakumara swami on Veerashaiva-Lingayat unity is a "conspiracy hatched by BJP leaders."

"I am told that BJP leaders B S Yeddyurappa, V Somanna and G S Basavaraju put pressure on the Siddaganga seer saying that the Union government had considered him (pontiff) for the Bharat Ratna award and hence he should adopt a neutral stand on the controversy. The junior pontiff should convince him that development of community should take precedence over the award," she said while addressing a press meet here on Wednesday.

Mate Mahadevi alleged that pro-Veerashaiva people took advantage of "weak memory" of the centenerain pontiff and got his signature on a statement they had prepared. She suspected the role of Akhila Bharata Veerashaiva Mahasabha also.

Mate Mahadevi said that the statement of the Siddaganga seer was not the final word on the issue and the struggle for a separate Lingayat religion was not dependent on his stance.

"Some people are accusing us of dividing the religion by demanding a separate Lingayat dharma. But, it is not the case. We are only demanding recognition for the religion established by Basavanna 900 years ago. Veerashaivas can also become Lingayats by accepting Basavanna as their religious teacher and Vachanas as the scripture," she said.

New Delhi: BJP leader Yogish Gowda, who was a member of the Dharwad Zilla Panchayath in Karnataka, was killed because of "political reasons", the CBI has alleged in its charge sheet filed against eight accused before a Dharwad court, officials said on Thursday.

Mr Gowda was killed on June 15, 2016 in front of a gym in Dharwad.

The charge sheet was filed before the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court in Dharwad against Santosh Savadatti, Dinesh M, Sunil KS, Harshith, Aswath S, Nazeer Ahamad, Shanawaz and Nutan K. All but one are in judicial custody.

"The accused allegedly came to Dharwad on two occasions in June 2016 and with the support of the other accused, allegedly planned the murder of Yogish Gowda. These accused fled after the crime," CBI spokesperson RK Gaur said.

The agency has alleged that the killing had "political reasons" behind it and was a result of political rivalry, the officials said.

The agency had taken over the case on September 24, 2019, nearly three years after the murder, on the request of the BJP government in Karnataka and a referral from the centre.

The case was earlier probed by the Karnataka Police which had charged six people for allegedly planning and executing the killing.

The CBI has arrested eight accused in the case of which seven are in judicial custody, they said.

"Further investigation into the role of the other accused and larger conspiracy in this case is continuing on a day-to-day basis," Mr Gaur said.

Palakkad, Jun 1: An 11-month-old boy, whose parents are placed under COVID-19 quarantine, drowned in a bucket of water in Chalissery at Palakkad district.

The toddler Muhammed Nisan was the son of Muhammad Sadiq. The parents of the child are under home quarantine after Sadiq's brother, who is living in the same home was tested positive of COVID-19.

The child was found dead in a bucket of water kept in the bathroom on Saturday around 10 pm.

Chalissery police said that ''further actions will be taken only after the test result comes out. We have filed an unnatural death case on this.''
