Mumbai: It is said that 'Religion is the opium of the masses'; religion also seems to be director Ram Gopal Varma's favourite topic on Twitter. The film-maker took to social networking to express his sentiments on Lord Balaji and how locals in Andhra do not pray to Yadagiri Narasimha.
Is it Right that Telangana people pray to Andhra people's Balaji more than their own Yadagiri Narasimha ?
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 19, 2014I am not a believer in God but I feel it's insulting to Yadagiri Narasimha that Telangana people pray to Andhra people's Balaji more
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 19, 2014Like you love your own country shouldn't you be praying to your own states God instead of praying to another States God?
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 19, 2014Isn't it correctly wrong that Telangana people think of their own God Yadagiri Narasimha lesser than Andhra people's God?
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 19, 2014I am very happy the KCR is developing Yadagiri gutta nd I think this act of his wil make Telangana people realise the value of their own God

The film-maker's new comments may incite religious sentiments and spark a fresh controversy.
