Bengaluru: Former CM and BJP leader S M Krishna has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to honour

Siddaganaga swami Shivakumara Swamiji with the prestigious Bharat Ratna award.

Krishna in his letter to Modi states that “The 111-year-old Swamiji is rendering service to the society for the past eight decades, uplifting lakhs of needy and downtrodden. The seer, who believes in egalitarian society, has been preaching against the practice of superstition, social evils and discrimination of all kinds.”

Krishna further said that the Siddaganga Mutt followers would be happy to see the seer getting honored and he deserves this for his selfless service rendered towards the betterment of society.
