BJP State president Somu Veerraju condemned the increase in the price of ‘abhishekam ticket’ at the Sri Varasiddhi Vinayaka Swamy temple at Kanipakam from ₹750 to ₹5,000.
In a press release, he said the hike in ticket price reflected the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government’s antipathy towards the Hindu religion.
