It s Obvious Who s Gaining From Temple Attacks: Sajjala Jan 06, 2021, 10:19 IST
Amaravati: The vandalism of temples is an act by people with extreme ideology and who want to eke out political gains by creating such unrest, said Government Advisor (Public Affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, he said that the temples were being vandalized according to a plan with clear political interests. Neither Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy nor YSRCP would gain anything from such incidents and they do no good to the government but will make things worse. In such a scenario, it is obvious as to who is going to gain from these attacks. Either it has to be opposition TDP leaders, who are desperately trying to find their position in State or BJP, which has religion in their political agenda he said and appealed to distance politics from religion.
