Lingayats, Vokkaligas welcome fresh caste survey decision
The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|June 11, 2025
THE two most influential communities of Karnataka—Veerashaiva-Lingayats and Vokkaligas—who had joined forces to resist the controversial Kantharaj Commission report, and had opposed it for nearly a decade, have welcomed the Congress government's move to order a fresh caste survey.
They hailed the Congress leadership's decision to scrap the old report and order a fresh survey, which could reshape Karnataka's caste-ridden politics. The All India Veerashaiva Mahasabha declared, "We have no issue with reservation itself, but only demand a proper scientific study."
The Mahasabha is planning a meeting on June 12 or 13 to chart their next steps, secretary Renuka Prasanna confirmed.
