Lingayat Debate Sparks Political Row: CM’s Aide’s Remarks Trigger BJP’s Unity Appeal

Описание: A political controversy is escalating in Karnataka over the state's caste survey. The row was triggered by a statement from the Chief Minister's economic adviser, Basavaraya Reddy, who claimed that Lingayat is neither a caste nor a religion, but an ideology-based movement, and that Hinduism is a culture. This drew a sharp reaction from the BJP, which accused the Siddaramaiah government of pursuing an agenda to divide Hindus and the Veerashaiva Lingayat community. The BJP alleges this is not the first time such an attempt has been made. According to a speaker, the government's agenda is to "divide Veerasaiv Lingayat community religion." Following the remarks, BJP leaders, including a former chief minister, held a meeting, deciding to move forward with clarity to ensure the community remains united. An appeal was also made to community leaders across political affiliations to make a clear decision based on the constitution. #karnataka #castesurvey #lingayat #veerashaivalingayat #siddaramaiah #bjp #congress #karnatakapolitics #hinduism #politics #indianpolitics #castepolitics #basavarayareddy #news #currentaffairs
