Vijayapura, Mar 26: Panchapeeta seers (Panchacharyas) and those following the Veerashaiva tradition on Sunday vowed to take the political plunge to defeat the Congress in the forthcoming Assembly elections, for dividing Veerashaiva-Lingayat community.

"We will use the Ganachara (a Veerashaiva tradition) to displace Siddaramaiah of his position as chief minister. We will discuss our plan with devotees and defeat the Congress. We are ready for the destruction of Siddaramaiah and a few of his Cabinet colleagues for dividing our religion," Chennarama Panditaradhya Shivacharya Swamy of Shreeshaila Peetha said at Veershaiva-Lingayat convention here.

Veera Someshwara Shivacharya Swami of Rambhapuri Peetha said: "Those leaders who changed their stance using Basaveshwara's name will surely regret. We will teach Siddaramaiah and his five Cabinet colleagues a befitting lesson for dividing Veerashaivas and Lingayats."

"We will take the political plunge and retaliate through devotees, defeating the Congress. We will use the weapon of religion in the forthcoming elections," he said and directed Vrishabalingeshwara Swami of Banthnal and Mahadeva Shivacharya Swami of Babaleshwar to visit every house in the region against the Congress.

Vamanadeva Shivacharya Swami of Yemmiganur directed devotees to visit every house and seek support for the BJP.

Chandrashekhar Shivacharya Swami of Kashi Peetha: "We will teach such a lesson that even next generations will remember."

what a shame for hindu community, curseing each other..these are not real pandith all are fake and burn in hell fire forever, VEDA teaches peace & harmony now the same book has been hijaked by bastar*d people for their benifit.

I am not supporter of any of these two sects. It is there personal interest.

What I would like to highlight is "No one should curse to others"

Sometime curse will hit back

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
