AP Chief minister Jagan has responded to the ongoing attacks on temples and the destruction of idols in the state. Recently, the Deputy CM Narayanaswamy and DGP Sawang inaugurated the state police duty meet at the Tirupati police parade ground, Kalyani Dam Police Training college. CM Jaganmohan Reddy addressed the function in a virtual manner from the camp office in Tadepalli.
“The destruction of the idols was taking place in the days when welfare schemes were being launched. There are conspiracies to destroy the statue to prevent publicity for government schemes. Such incidents take place in the state only when the government is doing good deeds. CCTV cameras have already been set up in 20,000 temples. Whoever makes such incidents and injustice should be punished,” said Jagan. He said that the incidents were taking place in private temples and temples of opposition leaders. He ordered the police to prevent a politically ongoing guerilla war.
