"Idolization of Politics: Raja Singh Rings Alarms Over Ganesh Idol Resembling CM Revanth Reddy"
In recent months, tensions have been running high in Hyderabad, Telangana, as a prominent local politician has expressed dismay over a religious statue that appears to be modeled after a leading member of the opposition party.
Raja Singh, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former candidate for the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, expressed his concern over the Ganesh idol displayed in Khairatabad during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, claiming that it bears an uncanny resemblance to Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President and Opposition Leader Revanth Reddy.
The statue, which was unveiled on August 31, 2023, and will be worshipped for ten days before being submerged in a ceremonial farewell, has sparked a heated debate between supporters and critics of the controversial politician.
Singh, a prominent Hindu activist, has demanded an inquiry into the matter, stating that religious idols should not be used for political messaging and that such actions could potentially incite religious tensions.
However, supporters of Revanth Reddy have countered that Singh's allegations are purely politically motivated, especially considering the close proximity of the statue to the assembly constituency that the opposition leader aspires to win in the upcoming elections.
As this story continues to develop, one thing is certain: politics and religion continue to intertwine in unforeseen ways in contemporary Indian politics.
Will this idol controversy impact the upcoming elections? Only time will tell.
