The government s bid to intervene on Thursday failed as two ministers of the Panchamshalis met the seers and requested them to call off their agitation and promised that the State Backward Classes Commission would study the demand and submit a report to the government on the matter, after which a decision would be taken.
The seers, however, said they would go ahead with their padayatra.
The seer leading the protest, Jaya Mruthyunjaya Swami, said: “We welcome the decision of the CM to ask the backward classes commission to do a study on our demand. We hope the commission will give a positive report. Our padayatra is peaceful and we will continue this. Our appeal is only that, before our padayatra reaches Bangalore by February 15, please issue the government order. We feel we have won to some extent. We will go ahead with our padayatra till then.
