The BJP leader took to the social media platform ‘A’ to oppose the proposal, saying temples are not political rehabilitation centers. He asked the ruling party if it would dare to make such a move in respect of mosques and churches.

“Temples are places of faith, not political rehabilitation Centres. Appointing social media coordinators’ to supposedly push secular narratives in Hindu temple committees is wrong & diluting their spiritual purpose,” wrote Bandi Sanjay. “Does the Congress have the guts to make such a request for accommodation in Masjids and Churches? Or is it selectively only for Hindu temples?”  he asked.

The MoS said the Congress government should first protect the temples and preserve their true essence. “Focus on stopping the attack on temples, respect the sanctity. They belong to the people and not political strategies. We urge the Telangana government to ensure that recruitment happening in temples is transparent without any political bias,” he added.

Bandi Sanjay was reacting to a request by the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president B.Mahesh Kumar Goud to Minister for Endowments Konda Surekha to accommodate party’s social media coordinators in all Temple Committees/trust Boards.

Bandi Sanjay, through another post on X, questioned the Congress government for failing to take any action against the BRS leaders over allegations of corruption. He reminded the ruling party of its election promise in this regard,  “It’s been nothing but “Tareek Pe Tareek‘ and endless extensions for commissions, while KCR  & family just while away time. Congress in its manifesto promised legal action based on a full-fledged inquiry by a retired High Court Judge into BRS/TRS scandals and corruption.  Why hasn’t any action been taken so far?” asked the BJP leader.  (Maxim News)
