Sri Dingaleshwara Swami, head of Balehosur Mutt, who claims to be the successor of the historical Moorusavir Mutt in Hubballi, has objected to the plan of the Belagavi-based KLE Society building a medical college on the land donated by the mutt in Hubballi.
Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Wednesday, ahead of the bhoomi puja of KLE Society’s medical college on Thursday, the Swami said that being the ‘successor’ of the mutt, it was his duty to protect the mutt and its property and prevent it from being handed over to others. He has often been in news for the wrong reasons on several occasions and his claim to be the successor of the mutt has been questioned in the court of law.
