Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has appealed to the priests of Muzrai temples to protect the state government.
In Karnataka, Chief Minister Shivakumar’s appeal on Wednesday (Aug. 5) to the priests of Muzrai temples, which are under the control of the state government, to protect the Congress-led government has become a major talking point.
Chief Minister Shivakumar and Water Resources Minister Ramalinga Reddy attended a ceremony held in Bengaluru on Wednesday on behalf of the association of priests of Muzrai temples functioning under the Karnataka government’s Department of Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments.
In this situation, Chief Minister Sivakumar, speaking at the event, has appealed to the priests of temples under government control to help bring the government back to power.
Regarding this, he said:
“Protect this government just as you protect your homes and temples. We have fulfilled the promise we made and have also earned your trust,” he said.
Along with this, Chief Minister Sivakumar has also assured that if temple administrations and mutts create their own curriculum, the government will support a plan to provide three months of training to priests working in 34,000 rural temples.
