His statement came in response to questions raised by some sections about opening temples and no mention about mosques and churches.

Speaking to reporters here he said, “Once we say temples can open, churches and mosques should also open, there will be no restrictions on them. In our country law is same for every one…. but for all this central government’s permission is required, we are waiting for it, our efforts are on in this direction.”

We have to start living with COVID-19 and steps need to be taken towards it, he added.

Yediyurappa has written a letter to the Prime Minister seeking permission to reopening of hotels and temples.
