Veerashaiva-Lingayats seek 12-15% quota for the community
Over 50 Veerashaiva-Lingayat seers came together on Wednesday in Bengaluru to demand 12-15% reservation, and not be given a separate religion status. This comes after a different Lingayat faction conducted a massive rally in Belagavi seeking separate religion status. They also urged the government to set up free hostels for poor Veerashaiva-Lingayat students in every district.
