Bandi Sanjay accuses BRS and Congress of minority appeasement
A very important politician named Bandi Sanjay Kumar is upset with two political groups in the state of Telangana.
He says these groups, called BRS and Congress, care more about one community's festivals and needs than about the Hindu community.
He spoke about this on a special festival day called Bonalu, when people celebrate a goddess in the city of Hyderabad.
He pointed out that the government gave less money to Bonalu celebrations than to Ramzan celebrations.
He also said the government does not provide basic facilities for Hindu people when they visit temples.
He joked that one leader, KT Rama Rao, now visits a temple himself after making fun of another leader for praying.
He complained that school books do not teach about brave fighters from Telangana's history.
He also said many young people in Telangana cannot find jobs and students are waiting for money they were promised.
He promised to bring Hindu people together to ask for equal respect and fair treatment for all festivals.
Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar on August 9 accused BRS and Congress of playing minority appeasement politics while neglecting the Hindu community.
He questioned why Bonalu received only Rs 20 crore across 3,400 Hyderabad temples despite its state festival status, while Rs 33 crore was released for Ramzan.
He mocked BRS Working President KT Rama Rao for visiting the Bhagya Lakshmi temple after ridiculing his own devotion during past GHMC elections.
He criticized Congress for omitting Telangana armed struggle fighters from school curricula while allegedly glorifying historical figures like Tipu Sultan.
He flagged unemployment, stipend defaults and fee reimbursement dues, and vowed to unite the Hindu community against minority appeasement policies.
He questioned whether Congress would grant Rs 2.4 crore to organisations like Taslima Jamaat Sanstha Sabha, which he claimed are banned internationally.
