CM Revanth Reddy now targeting temples, says Harish Rao

Demanding that the Congress government shelve its plans to demolish Sharada Peetham’s Rajashyamala Temple at Neopolis in Kokapet, former Minister T Harish Rao alleged that after demolishing houses of the poor, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is now targeting temples.

In 2019, the BRS government had sanctioned two acres of land to Sharada Peetham for the construction of the Rajashyamala Temple. Accordingly, the requisite fee was paid for registration and the temple was constructed. Yet, Revanth



Reddy was now demolishing the temple, he charged.

On Friday night, several police personnel reached the temple, and along with Revenue department officials, denied temple staff permission to perform pujas. Food distribution programmes for the poor were being conducted regularly at the temple.

After learning about the police presence, the former Minister visited the temple on Saturday. “Noticing my arrival, the police and MRO, Revenue Inspector vanished from the spot,” he said.
