Mangalore, Jun 21: Hurt by the ugly political developments between Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and former CM H D Kumaraswamy, who have reportedly devised to treat God as a mediator and testify before Lord Manjunatha of Dharmasthala their respective 'truth', Pejavar seer Vishveshateertha Swamiji has asked the duo to backtrack from oath-taking on Monday June 27.
He was speaking to presspersons on Tuesday June 21 on the sidelines of Guruvandana Tulabhara function organized for the seer at the residence of Dakshina Kannada District Kannada Sahitya Parishad president Pradeep Kumar Kalkura here in the city. I personally believe that the move by both the political bigwigs will not augur well for them and thus I am against any such oaths. The mutt too does not sanction such arrangement. The move will bring bad effect on the state and will certainly be a precedentn for bad culture.
On a query as to whether he spoke on the issue to Dharmadhikari Dr Veerandra Heggade, he said that, "I have neither spoken to Heggade nor the duo. It is just my suggestion," he said and added that he is ready to assit the duo to come to a consensus and solve the matter between them through different means.
However according to political experts, the duo have already decided to go in for oath-taking in front of the Lord Manjunatha at Dharmasthala.
