Vijayawada: Senior TDP leader and former Minister Devineni Uma Maheswara Rao has alleged that attacks on Hindu temples increased in the State after the YSRCP came to power last year and demanded the sacking of Endowments Minister Vellampalli Srinivas alleging that the Minister had failed to protect three lion idols in the chariot belonging to Goddess Kanaka Durga temple.
Uma expressed concern over the growing attacks on Hindu temples across the State. Devineni Uma along with other party leaders visited the Kanaka Durga temple on Wednesday and examined the chariot. The TDP leaders undertook the visit after it was noticed that three lion idols went missing from the temple and only one idol was left.
