Mysore :Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that there was no need for Pejawar Swamiji to  give Vaishnava Deeksha to  Kuruba community members as they belong to Shaiva sect  who are  worshippers and followers of Saint Kanakadasa.

The  CM who was at Mysore helipad reacted so when scribes drew his attention to the statement of  Pejawar seer that he will offer Vaishnava Deeksha to the  followers of Kanakadasa.
