Will AP vote for people holding Bible or Gita? Bandi Sanjay

Hyderabad: Karimnagar Member of Parliament and Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Monday, predicted that result of the Tirupati Lok Sabha bypoll in Andhra Pradesh would follow the pattern of the Dubbaka bypoll and Hyderabad local polls in Telangana. The BJP had won the Dubbaka bypoll and emerged as the second largest party in the recent Hyderabad city polls.
“Will you vote for the people holding a Bible or will you vote for the people holding a Bhagavad Gita,” demanded Kumar of people of the neighbouring Telugu state.
He questioned AP people if they want to vote for the party which allegedly describes the presiding deity of Tirumala as ‘rendu kondavalavada govinda’ (God of two hills) or they will vote for the BJP which is for ‘yedu kondalavada Venkataramana govinda’ (God of seven hills).
Kumar was referring to the Tirupati temple, which is the abode of Lord Venkateshwara and was alluding to the ruling YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh.
Pseudo-secular allegation “You have to give a slap in the face of pseudo-secular people,” claimed the MP about the voting power of the Telugu people.
Kumar’s comments come at a time when AP is witnessing multiple alleged attacks on temples and the opposition parties rallying against the ruling Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) for allegedly failing to protect temples.
