BJP leader Madhavi Latha criticized Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy regarding the vandalism of the Muthyalamma temple, asserting that such incidents are recurring. She linked Reddy’s actions to his allegiance to Rahul Gandhi, questioning the latter's commitment to Hindu values. Latha highlighted a previous incident involving the vandalism of the Bhoolaxmi temple in Rakshapuram, noting her lack of response to her plea for its restoration. She emphasized that the focus should shift from merely blaming the administration and police to holding the Hindu community accountable for not protecting their temples. Latha condemned political figures as "foxes" who, in her view, prioritize personal gain over communal welfare, demanding action against those responsible for the vandalism. Her remarks underline a broader concern about the safety and sanctity of religious sites in the region, calling for unity and vigilance among Hindus to safeguard their heritage.
