Basavanna, a champion of social equality: CM

Bijapur May 17: The 12th century social reformer Basaweshwara was the
forerunner of great thinkers and reformers like Karl Marx, Gandhiji
and Ambedkar, said Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa.

Addressing a huge audience, after inaugurating the Basava Smarak
Bhavan at Bagewadi town on Sunday, he described Basavanna as the
greatest champion of social equality and socio-economic
transformation.

Yeddyurappa announced that to relive Basavanna's down to earth
concerns, a mammoth farmers' meet to educate them about the importance
of organic farming would be held in Kudala Sangama shortly. Former
president APJ Abdul Kalam would inaugurate the meet, he revealed.

He also declared that a convention of all the elected Gram Panchayat
members would be held in June to educate them about decentralisation
of power for the welfare and development of their villages.

He said Taralabalu Swamiji and Veerendra Heggade of Dharmasthala would
grace the convention.
