Telangana: VHR Holds Mouna Deeksha Over Theft Of Ayodhya Offerings
“People are deeply disturbed by the alleged theft of funds from the Ayodhya Ram temple, which is revered by crores of devotees”: Adi Srinivas
KARIMNAGAR: Senior Congress leader and state government adviser V. Hanumantha Rao on Saturday observed a ‘mouna deeksha’ at Ramojipet in Ellanthakunta mandal, alleging irregularities in devotees’ offerings at the Ayodhya Ram temple and demanding action.
Addressing the gathering, he said the Centre should take moral responsibility over the issue. Extending support, Vemulawada MLA and government whip Adi Srinivas said people would not tolerate irregularities in the name of Lord Rama. “People are deeply disturbed by the alleged theft of funds from the Ayodhya Ram temple, which is revered by crores of devotees,” he said.
Referring to the temple inauguration in January 2024, he said, “After a long wait, the temple was inaugurated in January 2024. It is unfortunate that such an incident has occurred within just two-and-a-half years,” and demanded that those responsible be punished.
Manakondur MLA Kavvampally Satyanarayana said the sentiments of devotees had been hurt. He criticised BJP leaders, stating that they remained silent over the issue despite invoking Lord Rama. He also alleged attempts to suppress the matter and demanded that the Centre make public details of temple offerings and take action against those responsible.
