The recent disfiguration of the holy Sri Rama idol at Ramatheertham temple has started to cause a lot of tension in Andhra Pradesh, especially in the political scenario. Given that this is not the first time that a Hindu God idol or Hindu temple has been attacked in the recent times, everyone is asking the government about its lack of action against the perpetrators of these heinous acts.
BJP Andhra Pradesh incharge, Sunil Deodhar, recently questioned Jagan on these acts against the Hindu religion. “What is this Jagan? Why are you not reacting to the atrocities against Hindu temples, and why did the Minister of Endowments Department resign?”, these are the questions that Sunil asked Jagan. Sunil released a video asking these questions, and even spoke at the recently held OBC Morcha meeting, at Sri Kalahasti.
Sunil compared the current governance in Andhra Pradesh to that of Ravana’s governance, and further questioned the lack of action on part of the Andhra Pradesh government, with respect to the atrocities against the Hindu religion. Sunil asked Jagan why religious conversions were being encouraged in the state, and why the government is not able to take a substantial and strong action in order to make sure that no other atrocity takes place against Hindu temples. He also criticised the way that the Deputy Chief Minister of the state wished a Merry Christmas to everyone, in Tirumala. In turn, Sunil asked why no one wished Hindu devotees a happy Vaikunta Ekadasi, by standing in front of Churches. Sunil requested teh people of Tirupati to decide whether they want a Hindu or Christian representative for Tirupati. On the other hand, AP BJP president Somu Veerraju demanded that Minister Vellampalli should resign, taking responsibility for the Ramatheertham incident.
Apart from this, BJP AP Morcha association Chief Dr. K Lakshman said that the OBCs of the state would be given a 34% reservation if the BJP came into power, and also pointed out that the Jagan government is doing them a great deal of injustice, by not giving them proper reservation.
