Sonia Gandhi as ‘Telangana Thalli’ an insult to Sanatana Dharma: Kishan Reddy

Union Tourism Minister and Telangana State BJP president G. Kishan Reddy took strong objection to the portrayal of Sonia Gandhi as ‘Telangana Thalli’ (Telangana mother) in a hoarding and said it was an insult to Sanatana Dharma.

The Minister posted a message on “X” (formerly Twitter) saying, “Across Bharat, Shakti the feminine form and various manifestations of the mother Goddess are worshipped in Sanatana Dharma. Every village in Telangana has a Grama Devatha, a goddess that protects the village and gives the people strength. People of the village seek the deity’s blessings regularly.”

“It is shocking that the Congress party will continue to insult Sanatana Dharma with such vulgar displays of sycophancy for one family by portraying a corrupt Congress leader as Telangana Thalli,” he posted.
