The Lingayat Panchamasali community is demanding inclusion under the 2A category for reservation benefits. This campaign is aimed at pressuring state legislators to support their cause in the upcoming monsoon session.
The Mahasabha plans to deliver letters to the residences of key MLAs, beginning with M.R. Patil and Arvind Bellad in Hubballi. The campaign will subsequently expand to other districts across the state, concluding on July 12th.
The Chief Minister previously promised to seek legal counsel on the matter, but the community reports that no action has been taken to date.
The seer clarified that the protest is not politically motivated; the goal is solely to secure better educational and employment opportunities for the community's children. He further stated that seeking specific ministerial appointments is not the role of religious leaders.
