The Jagan Mohan Reddy government’s decision to enhance security cover being given to Visakha Sarada Peetham seer Swamy Swaroopanandendra to Z plus category has incurred the wrath of the Telugu Desam Party.
TDP MLC and spokesman P Ashok Babu on Tuesday wondered why the government was giving Z+ security to Sarada peetham seer, who he alleged, was sheltering criminals and corrupt elements.
He said why the Swamiji who was carrying out nefarious activities from his peetham with total disrespect to the Hindu dharma, should be given the highest security cover.
He alleged that the Jagan government had provided high-level security to this Swamiji for joining hands with the YCP leaders in their corruption activities.
He said the Sarada Peetham in Visakhapatnam was converted into a dumping place for the huge corruption money of the ruling party leaders.
Ashok Babu demanded the Jagan Reddy regime to explain to the devotees why it failed to order a detailed CBI probe into all the incidents relating to the temple attacks in the State.
The TDP leader termed it as unfortunate that the YCP leaders have turned the temples and peethams into commercial centres meant to serve their political interests.
