Telangana BJP President and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Monday, accused the State government of putting up hurdles against the immersion of the Ganesh idols under the guise of law and order, and threatened to take the final idols procession to ‘Pragati Bhavan’.
“Ever since the TRS has come to power, it has been creating fresh hurdles every year and at every step during Ganesh idols immersion in the name of water pollution as well as other issues. Why does the government think of putting up restrictions only during our festivals? This is after taking permissions from GHMC, electricity, fire service, water board, police and others?,” he questioned.
At a press conference at the BJP State office, the BJP president saw a “deep rooted conspiracy” behind the “hurdles” as the government machinery has been pressing for a reduction of number of idols every year. “It is shameful that no steps have been taken to ensure an orderly immersion of the Ganesh idols even after the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti (BGUS) has made sufficient arrangements. If the government does not want to do anything, we know how to go about the progamme at the Tank Bund,” he warned.
