Udupi Pejawar Mutt chief Sri Vishweshwar Tirtha, Sri Deshikendra Swami of Suttur Mutt near Mysore and the heads of several other mutts in the South have requested Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and Janata Dal-S leader H D Kumaraswamy not to drag gods into their political battle.
Kumaraswamy has accepted Yeddyurappa's challenge to take oath in front of Lord Manjunatha at Dharmasthala, about 300 km from Bangalore, and repeat the claim that he (Yeddyurappa) had "tried to buy my silence over graft charges against him". The two are to do so on June 27.
Yeddyurappa's recourse to oath in the name of god to prove his innocence has evoked widespread ridicule and criticism from people and also from the opposition.
Yeddyurappa is known for performing tantric rituals and is a frequent visitors to temples and mutts.
