No he did not Premanand filled out the section Period as a follower with 1968 1974 Position in S S Org Best Worker in SSB Org Podanur He simply held a position in the Sai Organization during the years 1968 1974 However the truth came out in the Secret Swami when he said he was trying to investigate Sathya Sai Baba since 1968 itself Premanand did not say anything about being a devotee or follower in the Secret Swami program That would have been a crucial fact yet it was never mentioned Again everyone who signs the petition has the option to fill out Period as a follower section Premanand never claimed direct from his own mouth that he was a devotee or follower of Sathya Sai Baba What did come out of his mouth recorded on video is that he was trying to investigate Sathya Sai Baba since 1968 and he went public in 1976 So these comments need to removed If you do not want to remove them I will provide the necessary clarification
