BJP is mixing politics with spirituality, Governor Ravi has joined hands with them: T.N. Minister Sekarbabu
The BJP is intertwining politics with spirituality, and Governor Ravi has aligned himself with them, accuses T.N. Minister Sekarbabu.
T.N. Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P. K. Sekarbabu accused the BJP of consistently portraying a negative image of the State government. Responding to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's allegations regarding restrictions on special pujas and annadhanams in temples, Sekarbabu stated that the BJP's efforts were aimed at blending politics with spirituality. He emphasized that the government had not interfered in the functioning of temples.
Sekarbabu's remarks came in response to Sitharaman's critique of restrictions imposed on certain temple activities. The Finance Minister had raised concerns about limitations on special pujas and the distribution of free meals (annadhanams) in temples, alleging interference by the state government.
In contrast, Sekarbabu defended the government's stance, asserting that there was no interference in temple affairs. He accused the BJP of attempting to create a misleading narrative about the state government's actions. The ongoing exchange highlights the political and religious dynamics surrounding temple management, with both sides presenting divergent perspectives on the issue. The discourse reflects the broader intersection of politics and spirituality, with each party seeking to influence public opinion on matters related to religious practices and governance.
