Udupi, Oct 14: Pressure is being put on the state government to provide special reservation to the Savita community, said D V Sadananda Gowda, BJP state president, on Sunday October 12.
 
Gowda was speaking after unveiling a large Parashurama idol, at Parashu Srusti Maitri temple, Kuthyar, near Shirva, on Sunday. The community has been awarded 2 A status so far, and the state government will be asked to change it to 1 A, thereby enabling the community to avail special reservations under the category, he added.
