The spat between Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and BJP functionaries over the Veerashaiava-Lingayat issue seems to not end.
B .Y. Vijayendra, son of Lingayat strongman and former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, on Sunday, criticised Mr. Siddaramaiah for allegedly creating a controversy in the meeting with Rambhapuri Mutt seer Veerasomeshwara Shivacharya Swami.
“Mr. Siddaramaiah paid the price for attempting religious politics to cover the anti-people administration and political failure. Nobody expects regret from Mr. Siddaramaiah. How much is it right to create a controversy out of a meeting with a religious head?” Mr. Vijayendra tweeted on Sunday.
