BJP Slams Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's God Remarks

Hindustan Times · politics

Telangana BJP has strongly criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for his remarks differentiating between Hindu gods Ram and Shiva. Reddy claimed Ram is the God of the rich and Shiva the God of the poor, suggesting this influenced Congress's electoral performance in North and South India. BJP leaders condemned the statement as absurd and divisive, accusing Reddy of attempting to create rifts among Hindus. Congress defended Reddy, stating his comments were based on the perceived imagery of the deities and accused BJP of politicizing religion.
