Bengaluru, Jan 12: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar today said he has asked the Vokkaliga Sangha officials to postpone the meet on caste census.
“I have told the Vokkaliga Sangha officials to postpone the meet as it would create unnecessary confusion. I also told them that I would talk to the seer of Adi Chunchanagiri mutt about it,” he said while speaking to reporters at his Sadashivanagar residence.
Asked if he held a meeting with the Vokkaliga Sangha officials, he said, “I have not held any meetings and there is no need for that. They had planned a separate meeting on caste census today and I had informed them I would not participate in that. They have told me that the meeting would be postponed”
Administrator appointment
“The Vokkaliga Sangha office bearers had met me after an internal reconciliation. I have warned them that an administrator would be appointed for the Sangha if they continue to fight among themselves. They have promised to work together,” he added.
Asked about Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti’s letter to the Home Minister about transferring the case pertaining to CT Ravi abusing Lakshmi Hebbalkar, he said the Home Minister would respond to it.
