AP Minister and chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s close relative Balineni Srinivasa Reddy contributed Rs 3 lakh for the construction of the Sri Ram temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya. He made this contribution on Wednesday when a team of RSS workers approached him for donation.
The RSS has embarked on a nation-wide fund raiser for the construction of Sri Ram Janmabhoomi mandir from this Sankranthi and as part of it approached the minister at his residence in Ongole. Srinivas Reddy contributed Rs 3 lakh and said that it was a great opportunity for his family to be a part of the massive campaign. He also urged the people of the state to join the fund collection movement in a big way. The donation came at a time when the YS Jagan Government is being pushed to the corner over the temple attacks.
Interestingly, AP DGP Gowtham Sawang, who is a practicing Christian, too made a donation of Rs 1 lakh when a team of RSS called on him the other day. Interestingly, cutting across party lines, all major political leaders and social leaders are making donations for the construction of the temple. The RSS hopes to raise Rs 1000 crore for the construction of the temple at the site where Lord Ram was born in Ayodhya.
